    You can run the default example by simply executing 'ospf_sim'. If you
    want to see the contents of the 'default configuration' then go to
    File->Save As. Or if your in the trouble shooting mode you can run
    'ospf_sim sample.cfg'. 'sample.cfg' is located in <where u untarred
    it>/ospfd/ospf_sim. This is probably not the proper forum to discuss
    Moy's OSPF implementation so until a mailing list for it opens its doors
    you can email me directly and I'll try to answer what I've learn thus far.

    Does anybody have some 'real world' examples of "highly connected
    network topologies" to share. I would like to persue one of the ospf
    charters goals and attempt to develop a mechanism to reduce ospf
    flooding traffic in such topologies. Richard Fiutem (since you said you
    would)? Anybody Else?
