Extending OSPF Area 0 Connectivity Using Virtual Links and GRE Tunnels
In standard OSPF architectrues, every non-backbone area must maintain a direct connection to the backbone (Area 0) via an Area Border Router (ABR). Inter-area traffic is required to transit through Area 0. However, network topologies are sometimes constrained by physical limitations, leaving a non-backbone area isolated from the backbone.
