Commit: 1d376ff539 removed
the code to find nexthops for the POINTOMULTIPOINT and
replaced it with a generic bit of code that was
supposed to handle both POINTOPOINT and POINTOMULTIPOINT
the problem is that the ospf rfc states that the
network mask on point to multipoint should be /32
which will not allow you to properly do a prefix match
on it against the network.
Restore original behavior as much as possible and leave
the new POINTOPOINT code alone.

When an ABR NSSA router is configured to be ALWAYS the translator:

It will advertise this condition in the type-1 LSA setting the Nt

r22# show ip ospf
We are an ABR and always an NSSA Translator.
r33# show ip ospf
We are an ABR, but not the NSSA Elected Translator.
However when the command above is removed:

This commits attempts to fix a problem that occurs when mpls-te gets
removed from ospfd config. Mpls-te has an inter-as option, which can be
set to Off/Area/AS. Whenever the inter-as takes "Area" or "AS" as a
value, this value will not be cleaned after removing mpls-te or after
removing the ospf router. Therefore, if mpls-te is configured with
inter-as AS or Area and we remove mpls-te or the ospf router, the
inter-as will still preserve its value; therefore, next time mpls-te is
enabled, it will automatically inherits the previous inter-as value
(either Area or AS). This leads to wrong configuration, which can be a
problem for frr_reload.py.
The commits forces mpls-te to reset inter-as to Off before it mpls-te
gets removed from the configuration and before the ospf router gets
removed.

OSPF instances:
a) Cannot be mixed with non-instance
b) Are their own process.
Since in multi-instance world ospf instances are their own process,
when an ospf processes receives an instance command we must remove
our config( if present ) and allow the new config to be active
in the new process. The problem here is that if you have not

LSA into type-5 and advertise to the backbone. In the current implementation
R2 is also advertising a type-4 LSA when there is no need.
RFC 3101: "...NSSA's border routers never originate Type-4 summary-LSAs
for the NSSA's AS boundary routers, since Type-7 AS-external-LSAs are
never flooded beyond the NSSA's border..."
With this PR a type-4 LSA will not be advertised

When the ASBR stops announcing a prefix into the NSSA area, the LSA
type 7 is removed from the area. However the ABR is refreshing the
type 5 in its LSDB while removing the Type 7 LSA. Routers outside
the area do not get an update.
With this change the LSA type 5 is flushed from the LSDB and the
change is announced to routers outside the area

1. Fix for duplicating calls of ospf_external_lsa_refresh()
in ospf_distribute_list_update_timer().
2. Added the comment and change from PR 6981.
