A Bit Mask corresponding to the neighbor's options field. Bit 0, if set, indicates that the system will operate on Type of Service metrics other than TOS 0. If zero, the neighbor will ignore all metrics except the TOS 0 metric. Bit 1, if set, indicates that the associated area accepts and operates on external information; if zero, it is a stub area. Bit 2, if set, indicates that the system is capable of routing IP Multicast datagrams; i.e., that it implements the Multicast Extensions to OSPF. Bit 3, if set, indicates that the associated area is an NSSA. These areas are capable of carrying type 7 external advertisements, which are translated into type 5 external advertisements at NSSA borders. Bit 4, if set, indicates the router's willingness to receive and forward External-Attributes-LSAs. Bit 5, describes the router's handling of demand circuits, as specified in RFC 1793. Bit 6, if set, indicates the router's willingness to receive and forward Opaque-LSAs as specified in RFC 2370.
