A level 1 router looks at a packet’s area address and compares it with a destination address. If the area portion of the destination address matches its own area’s address, the level 1 router uses the ID portion of the address to route the packet. If the area portion of the address does not match, the level 1 router routes the packet to a level 2 router within its area.
