An area border router (ABR) connects (links) more than one area. Usually an ABR is used to connect non-backbone areas to
the backbone. If OSPF virtual links are used an ABR will also be used to connect the area using the virtual link to another
non-backbone area. Border routes use internal OSPF routing table entries to an ABR or Autonomous System Boundary
Router (ASBR). Border routers maintain an LSDB for each area supported. They also participate in the backbone.
5. Refer to External Routes
Routers in a Not-so-stubby-area (NSSA) do not receive external LSAs from Area Border Routers,
but are allowed to send external routing information for redistribution. They use type 7 LSAs to tell
the ABRs about these external routes, which the Area Border Router then translates to type 5
external LSAs and floods as normal to the rest of the OSPF network.
Redistribution into an NSSA area creates a special type of LSA known as TYPE 7, which can exist
only in an NSSA area. An NSSA ASBR generates this LSA, and an NSSA ABR router translates it
into type 5 LSA which gets propagated into the OSPF domain.
