From the router the is the ABR between area 0 and nssa area 5, I see that
the routing table shows that the same route advertised from area 0 as type
E1 and from nssa area 5 as type nssa 1 ,   the nssa1 route from nssa area 5
is  prefered and put in the routing table.  I thought route type E1 is
preferred over nssa1.  There is a ospf order IntraArea, Interarea, E1 and
E2, however I can't find anything regarding OSPF preference for  NSSA1 or 2
compare to Intra area, Interarea, E1 and E2 routes.
