Hello,
We are looking to deploy a greenfield MPLS network with OSPF as the IGP. I'm told OSPF areas don't play well with OSPF TED.
Yep, OSPF-TE uses Type 10 LSAs, which only has an area flooding scope.
For this reason, we are looking at using only area 0. Only Loopback interfaces and p-p core ethernet links will be in OSPF. What are the maximum number of Routers & Links that folks would be comfortable with putting in 1 area? If folks are already using this type of approach, could you share your current numbers?
I've seen single areas with as many as ~600 routers and as many as 6-7k LSAs in the LSDB that functioned without any problems. -- Stefan Fouant
