OSPF LSA type

LSA type 1 – Router LSAs are sent from a router to other routers in the same area. It contains information regarding the routers interfaces in the same area, relevant interfaces IPs, its adjacent routers on those interfaces and sub networks

LSA type 2 – Network LSAs are generated by the DR on a multi access segment, and provides similar information to an LSA type 1 for the multi access segment and subnet which it belongs
LSA type 3 – Network Summary LSAs are generated by ABRs and contain the subnets & costs but omit the topological data from all subnets in one area and sent to another area via the ABR
LSA type 4 -ASBR summary LSAs are from ASBRs and are identical in structure to a type 3 LSA and sent when crossing an AS boundary
LSA type 5 -Are AS external LSAs which are originated by ASBRs and describe external networks
LSA type 6 – Is defined as a Group Membership LSA but not used in Cisco devices
LSA type 7 -NSSA External LSAs are generated by the ASBR in an NSSA area
LSA type 8 – Is defined as a External Attribute LSA but not used in Cisco devices
LSA types 9 to 11 – Defined as Opaque LSAs and are reserved for future expansion

OSPF - Normal, Stub, Totally Stub and NSSA Area Differences

ref.: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094aaa.shtml#definestub

Normal	None
Stub	No Type 5 AS-external LSA allowed
Totally Stub	No Type 3, 4 or 5 LSAs allowed except the default summary route
NSSA	No Type 5 AS-external LSAs allowed, but Type 7 LSAs that convert to Type 5 at the NSSA ABR can traverse
NSSA Totally Stub	No Type 3, 4 or 5 LSAs except the default summary route, but Type 7 LSAs that convert to Type 5 at the NSSA ABR are allowed
