Subject: Question about nexthop calculation

hello folks,

I am going through Zebra and Moy's source code for
OSPFv2.  The question I have is when calculating
next hops for a router vertex that is directly
connected to the root (i.e. calculating router) via
a network vertex, why can't we simply inherit the
nexthops of the network vertex ? Moy and Zebra both
do something special for this case which I cannot
understand.

It seems like the root should be able to reach the
router through all the nexthops that were calculated
for the network vertex.

I hope I was able to clearly explain my doubts.

thanks

jasmine
