RFC 5185: OSPF Multi-Area Adjacency
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
This document describes an extension to the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol to allow a single physical link to be shared by multiple areas. This is necessary to allow the link to be considered an intra-area link in multiple areas. This would create an intra- area path in each of the corresponding areas sharing the same link.
