Hi, Vikas:

   Usually, only prefixes instead of nodes show in the routing table. In the
case you described, the prefixes could be the ip addresses of router
interfaces or the subnts the router interfaces belong to. Packets are
delivered to interfaces instead of router ids.
   The route type in the routing table could be unicast or multicast instead
of ABR, ASBR and Transit Network.

Hi all,
I had a question about a particular topology.
I want to create a network with a bunch of routers,
say 50.I want to configure the whole network as ONE
and only ONE area.In addition to forwarding packets,
the routers are also a source and sink for
packets.They are connected in the form of a semi-mesh
network by point to point links.
Since there is only one area, there are no ABRs and
ASBRs.
When the routing table is being created, what is the
TYPE of the nodes? In the routing table we need to
mention the Destination Type.The options available are
ABR,ASBR and Transit Network.Now the routers are
neither ABR nor ASBR. They are also not transit
networks becasue they are not connected to any
network. How should each node be configured and what
will the routing table entries look like?
Thanks,
-Vikas
