Intra-area, Interarea, and External Routes

You can split up an OSPF AS into areas. Doing this reduces the size of the link-state database (LSDB). Each OSPF area runs as a separate network and maintains its own LSDB. OSPF computes routes only to destinations within the area, and does not flood routes beyond the area boundaries.
