1:

How does OSPF bind the flooding of topology information?

2:

What is the rule of thumb to consider when designing around summarization of topology information and summarization of reachability information?

3:

What is the general rule of thumb on dealing with complexity in an OSPF network design?

4:

What are some of the advantages of placing the ABRs in a three-layer hierarchy at the edge of the network core?

5:

What are the disadvantages of placing the ABRs in a three-layer hierarchical network design at the edge of the core?

6:

What is the most flexible and generally most successful way to place ABRs in a three-layer hierarchical network?

7:

In general, where is the best place to put ABRs in a two-layer hierarchical network? When should you vary from this rule of thumb?

8:

What are the types of stub areas, and what routing information do they block at the ABR?

9:

When should you use stub areas?

10:

Where can you aggregate (summarize) routing information in an OSPF network?

11:

What types of routes can you filter in an OSPF network?

12:

If two OSPF processes that are running on the same router attempt to inject a route to the same destination into the local routing table, which route is installed?

13:
