Quick question for you OSPF gurus:: I know that Cisco states that 50-100 routers is the max for an OSPF area. Does anyone have experience with a single area comprised of about 150 routers? I'm a little nervous about pushing the limit.
Thanks

I would think this depends heavily on the processing power of the routers involved (think lowest common denominator) and memory, how many routes are involved, is it fully meshed...
I would think it is hard to pinpoint a breaking point and I wouldn't want to push the limit because you will have to cross your fingers every time you are ready to add that ONE more route!!
