The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Alternative OSPF ABR
Implementations' <draft-ietf-ospf-abr-alt-05.txt> as an Informational
RFC. This document is the product of the Open Shortest Path First IGP
Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bill Fenner and Alex Zinin.
RFC Editor Note:
Section 1.1 "Introduction", first paragraph
OLD:
An OSPF routing domain can be split into several subdomains,
called areas, which limit the scope of LSA flooding. According
to [Ref1] a router having attachments to multiple areas is called
an "area border router" (ABR). The primary function of an ABR is
to provide its attached areas with Type-3 and Type-4 LSAs (which
are used for describing routes and ASBRs in other areas) as well
as to perform actual inter-area routing.
