[c-nsp] ospf network type

Suppose you have 2 routers dual-uplinked in a 'V' to 2 more routers using
point-to-point (/30) links over ethernet.  There are four separate /30
segments.

Since these are broadcast segments, a DR/BDR will be elected on each link.

In this type of topology, does it make more sense to just make the network
type point-to-point?

What are the advantages of changing the network type -- fast convergence?

Thanks for helping me understand the difference.
