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.

External routes are external to area, originate from other routing protocols (or different OSPF processes) and are inserted
