eng-mssk: InterArea MPLS TE with OSPF

Issue

In this example we will go through InterArea MPLS TE with OSPFv2 as our routing protocol

As we can see from the figure above that we have multiple areas, which mean we have different flooding domain between our CEs: R1 and R5

Devices in different link state different flooding domain cannot run a full SPF calculation to build SPT

So , we will use ABRs are trusted exit points toward next area which will yield to the concept of ERO (Explicit Route Object) which contains the addresses of ABRs as loose hops in the transit paths

The same, we are following the explicit path

Let us check now how the signaling is occurring from R1 towards R5 (part of the path is examined) passing through the trusted exit points: ABRs (which in case of R1 are configured as R3, R7)

Once the tunnels are initialized, path calculation to the first ABR occurs and intra area signaling occurs to the same point, from the first ABR to the second one until we reach our destination
