type Specifies the OSPF area operation type. In some Autonomous Systems, the majority of
the topological database may consist of AS external advertisements. An OSPF AS external
advertisement is usually flooded throughout the entire AS. However, OSPF allows certain
areas to be configured as "stub areas". AS external advertisements are not flooded into/
throughout stub areas; routing to AS external destinations in these areas is based on a
(per-area) default only. This reduces the topological database size, and therefore the
memory requirements, for a stub area's internal routers.
