Abstract:
A transit-only network is defined as a network connecting routers only. In
OSPF, transit-only networks are usually configured with routable IP addresses, which are advertised in Link
State Advertisements (LSAs) but are not needed for data traffic. In addition, remote attacks can
be launched against routers by sending packets to these transit-only networks. This
document presents a mechanism to hide transit-only networks to speed up network convergence
and reduce vulnerability to remote attacks.
