Definitely, although it should also be clarified that neither
forwarding-adjacency nor autoroute matches packets on stuff
like IP header fields, source addr, etc :-) ... and that
"forwarding-adjacency" makes the LSP known as a link to all
routers in the cloud (similar to juniper, which can also do it
in OSPF), whereas autoroute just makes the LSP known only to
the local routing instance.
