Implementing the OSPF super backbone

With the OSPF super backbone architecture, the continuity of OSPF routing is preserved.

A BGP extended community (OSPF domain ID) provides the source domain of the route. This domain ID is not carried by OSPF but carried by MP-BGP as an extended community attribute.

If the configured extended community value matches the receiving OSPF domain, then the OSPF super backbone is implemented.

From a BGP perspective, the cost is copied into the MED attribute.
