Design—areas, virtual links, stub areas, not-so-stubby areas (NSSA), area border router
(ABR)/ autonomous system boundary router (ASBR) redistributions, media dependencies,
external versus internal, summarization
Operation—Designated router (DR), backup designated router (BDR), adjacencies, link-
state advertisement (LSA) types, link-state database, shortest path first (SPF) algorithm,
authentication
