 !! Salient features 

 * OSPF can discover neighbors through multicast "hello" packets. This feature can be crucial in allowing new nodes to be added to the mesh without requiring configuration changes to pre-existing nodes. 

-* OSPF supports a mode called 'point-to-multipoint' where routers on a network (to use the RFC term for a subnet) do not all necessarily have to be able to communicate directly with one-another (See sections 2.1.1 and 12.4.1.4 of the RFC). This is important to support 802.11 running in IBSS mode as described in Layer2Assumptions 

-* Link state information is restricted to an area, area 0 being special, namely the backbone. Communications between areas must transit the backbone. The backbone must be contiguous or 'patched up' with virtual links. 

+* OSPF supports a mode called '[p2mp point-to-multipoint]' where [Router routers] on a network (to use the RFC term for a [Subnet subnet]) do not all necessarily have to be able to communicate directly with one-another (See sections 2.1.1 and 12.4.1.4 of the RFC). This is important to support [802.11] running in [IBSS] mode as described in Layer2Assumptions
