Network Links Advertisements
Network links advertisements are Type 2 link state advertisements. A network links advertisement is
originated for each transit network in the area. A transit network is a multi-access network that has
more than one attached router. The network links advertisement is originated by the network's
Designated router. The advertisement describes all routers attached to the network, including the
Designated Router itself. The advertisement's Link State ID field lists the IP interface address of the
Designated Router.
The distance form the network to all attached routers is zero, for all TOS. This is why the TOS and
metric fields need not be specified in the network links advertisement.
The format of the Network Links Advertisement is shown below:
