Abstract

   This document presents a topology-transparent zone in an area.  A
   zone is a block/piece of an area, which comprises a group of routers
   and a number of circuits connecting them.  It is abstracted as a
   virtual entity such as a single pseudo node or zone edges mess.  Any
   router outside of the zone is not aware of the zone.  The information
   about the circuits and routers inside the zone is not distributed to
   any router outside of the zone.
