Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to management of default route advertisement by an Area Border Router in an OSPF network. In an example, an ABR in an OSPF network may determine whether a pre-condition for the ABR to advertise a default route to a stub area is met. In response to a determination that the pre-condition for the ABR to advertise the default route to the stub area is met, the ABR may advertise the default route to an adjacent router in the stub area.
