RFC 1587: The OSPF NSSA Option

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 3101.

Current version: RFC 3101 — The OSPF Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) Option

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document describes a new optional type of OSPF area, somewhat humorously referred to as a "not-so-stubby" area (or NSSA). NSSAs are similar to the existing OSPF stub area configuration option but have the additional capability of importing AS external routes in a limited fashion. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
