ospf multiple area, summarization, stubs...

i've been saying this for a long time... all of this is over-engineering... it's easily relegated to network trivia, or a "we do it because we can" philosophy... but nobody wants to hear me say it... listen to these guys then...

it is no wonder my mind glazes over when these discussions come up...

and we'll have an area here and here and here, and this will be a stub, and we'll summarize there, and that needs to be nssa because it sounds cool and we get to use it in a sentence... gimme a break...
