[j-nsp] Why a transit area cannot be a stub area?

[Shiva Shankar]

I believe, the way virtual links are defined is to establish a link to a
destination in another area...In an environment where the trabsit area is a
stub, its not a good idea to agree to carry virtual link based on a defult
route (as Type 3 LSA)...
