In OSPF, a totally stubby area does not permit type 3 summary LSAs (inter-area routes) or type 5 external LSAs (routes from outside the OSPF domain) to be flooded into the area. The area border router (ABR) will only send a default route as a type 3 LSA into the totally stubby area.

Neighbors Stuck in Exstart/Exchange State The problem occurs most frequently when you attempt to run OSPF between a Cisco router and another vendor router. The problem occurs when the maximum transmission unit (MTU) settings for neighboring router interfaces do not match. If the router with the higher MTU sends a packet larger that the MTU set on the neighboring router, the neighbor router ignores the packet. When this problem occurs, the output of the show ip ospf neighbor command displays output similar to what is shown in this figure.

A mismatched Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) setting on OSPF interfaces can cause routers to get stuck in the ExStart state. OSPF requires that both sides of a link have the same MTU to form a full adjacency.References:

Segment routing is a source routing paradigm that allows a source router to define the path that a packet will take through the network by assigning an ordered list of segments—identifiers that specify a forwarding path for the packet through the network. Segment Routing can be implemented over an MPLS architecture or with IPv6 (SRv6).

A. Segment routing does not require a full mesh of adjacencies or state per transit path in the network, which is often the case with conventional MPLS signaling protocols like RSVP-TE. It leverages the existing IGP topology for forwarding without the need to maintain a state for each LSP (Label Switched Path), hence requiring very little resources to maintain.

B. In segment routing, labels (or segments) are distributed via IGP routing protocols like OSPF or IS-IS with extensions to carry segment routing information. These protocols are enhanced with Segment Routing extensions to distribute labels. For example, OSPFv2 is extended with Segment Routing extensions defined in RFC 8665.

C. This statement is not entirely correct. While it is true that segment routing does not require the maintenance of a state for each path (LSP), the concept of "segment routing adjacencies" is a mischaracterization. Segment routing leverages the existing adjacencies formed by the underlying IGP.

D. Label assignments in segment routing are not advertised through LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) updates. Segment routing does away with LDP and instead uses IGP extensions to distribute labels.
