[j-nsp] Stub Router in OSPF

[Nalkhande Tarique Abbas]

The following is from RFC 2328, page 15.

"Interfaces to point-to-point networks need not be assigned IP
addresses.  When interface addresses are assigned, they are modelled as
stub links, with each router advertising a stub connection to the other
router's interface address. Optionally, an IP subnet can be assigned to
the point-to-point network. In this case, both routers advertise a stub
link to the IP subnet, instead of advertising each others' IP interface
addresses."


 
Thanks & Regards,

I have seen that all the networks that are directly connected between
neighbours are there as stub lsa in database, why is that so??

R1 ---10.0.0.1/30---------------10.0.0.2/30---R2

R1 has 10.0.0.2 as stub lsa in its database....why??
