>>From RFC2328:

> 	RFC1583Compatibility
> 	    Controls the preference rules used in Section 16.4 when
> 	    choosing among multiple AS-external-LSAs advertising the
> 	    same destination. When set to "enabled", the preference
> 	    rules remain those specified by RFC 1583 ([Ref9]). When set
> 	    to "disabled", the preference rules are those stated in
> 	    Section 16.4.1, which prevent routing loops when AS-
> 	    external-LSAs for the same destination have been originated
> 	    from different areas. Set to "enabled" by default.
>
> 	    In order to minimize the chance of routing loops, all OSPF
> 	    routers in an OSPF routing domain should have
> 	    RFC1583Compatibility set identically. When there are routers
> 	    present that have not been updated with the functionality
> 	    specified in Section 16.4.1 of this memo, all routers should
> 	    have RFC1583Compatibility set to "enabled". Otherwise, all
> 	    routers should have RFC1583Compatibility set to "disabled",
> 	    preventing all routing loops.
