In my previous post I covered the inspiration for this series of posts as well as many of OSPF’s LSAs. Now that we’ve got the boring stuff out of the way, let’s jump into the fun stuff :) In this post I’ll cover Type 1 and Type 2 LSAs in broadcast networks. The reason why I highlight the fact that this information applies only to broadcast netw...
