but Joe, the hello packet does not carry information on what type of network
that neighbor is working on....

and once again, if that was true, skynet would be impossible to do on what
concerns OSPF, once that you are NOT allowed to use "ip ospf netowrk"
command...

I don't have the routers right now to test that, only tomorrow, but can
anybody confirm the discussion above?
