defccie Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I am trying two understand a concept. but it is difficult for me to find a RFC or solution document for it. It has been used in very few networks i see there are two set of ospf backbone in different instance and they(loopback) are redistributed in each other. basically i think is it dual plane architecture, which will help provider in scalability, resilience and increase availability. nothing more i understand. My question is why not provider used simple single ospf area architecture? please provide the link to any solution document of rfc if any for this scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadProf Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) A router stack will act as if it is one device. You are down to 2 OSPF instances and in order connect them, you will to redistribute into each other. I will require more information before any design changes can be suggested.

defccie Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 my query is why not only one ospf instance and same one area was chosen in first place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadProf Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 There is not enough to determine why a network configured as you stated is allowed to exist. For example, it is easier to redistribute between two OSPF networks instead of collapsing both into one OSPF domain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
