ospf network types : point-to-multipoint non-broadcast


ospf network type point-to-multipoint non-broadcast is similar to
the network type point-to-multipoint except that ospf packets are sent as
unicast instead of multicast

ospf network type point-to-multipoint , point-to-multipoint non-broadcast
does not support the DR/BDR election, and possesses the same next-hop
behaviour

hence layer 2 to layer 3 can be between directly connected devices on nbma network
and that ip routing will be used to communicate between devices that are not adjacent to layer 2
