[quagga-users 14611] Re: Routing for LSA 7 in NSSA not working as expected

Hi all,

Small update: it appears that the forwarding address in the LSA 7 is the issue:
Router A sends the LSA7 with forwarding address 192.168.250.10. Router
C receives it and calculates the route falsely as [cost to get to
route A] + [cost to get to 192.168.250.0/24] + [cost of external
route] = 10 + 10 + 20 = 40 and this is exactly the same as [cost to
get to route C] + [cost to get to 192.168.250.0/24] + [cost of
external route], hence the two routes with equal cost. Of course, in
the rouge via A the cost to get to 192.168.250.0/24 should not be
counted as we just needed to get to router A.

It seems like a bug to me, but how can I fix it? Is there a valid workaround?

Kind regards,
Erwin
