Area Border Router- ABR interfaces in muliple area.

It is a type of router that is placed close to the border between one or more OSPF areas.

It is used to build a connection between the OSPF areas and backbone networks.

Each ABR keeps a separate topological database for every area the router is present.

An ABR does the job of forwarding routing information or any change among its border areas.
