Re: [WISPA] OSPF tips
Putting everything in Area 0 works just fine, as long as you don't go above say, 50 routers. Yes, that is a just a number pulled out of the air. Why? Well, it depends on the cpu in the router, and how long you're willing to wait for a full convergence. As I see it, I wouldn't let it go above 50 routers in any single area.. not even with our decently powered ImageStream Rebels.

I'll have to try that. I set my PPPoE router to summarize that subnet, but it didn't work. Eric Rogers wrote: > I agree with Bryan, with a tweak.

Re: [WISPA] OSPF tips
I agree with Bryan, with a tweak. A trick I just learned with RouterOS is you put your core routes on the 0.0.0.0 range and add your PPPoE range to a second area and then do an Area Range in the second range. It will keep your PPPoE from sending routes to all routers. It will summarize them so your routers will get fewer updates. You won't get /32 routes everywhere for every user.
