Hi All, One more point to add, I could not find any scenario where next-hop (forwarding-address) could be from inter-area or intra-area route. If any scenarios on this could also be much useful. Thank you.

As per RFC 2328 it is not obviously mentioned anywhere that the forwarding address can be set to connected, inter-area or intra-area routers but in the section 16.4 (Calculating AS external routes) it is mentioned that the forwarding address can be set to inter-area or intra-area as well. Snippet from the RFC is provided below for quick reference. Can you please confirm if the forwarding address can be set to ospf connected, inter-area or intra-area route while generating external LSA. Thanks. ********************************** If the forwarding address is non-zero, look up the forwarding address in the routing table.[24] The matching routing table entry must specify an intra-area or inter-area path; if no such path exists, do nothing with the LSA and consider the next in the list. ****************************** Best Regards, Radha
