show ip ospf database command

PinGorilla

Can anyone explain the "Link Count" header from this command for LSA type 1?  I have attempted to make logic of it but I am unable to.  The output comes from Workbook 1 up to task 6.8 has been completed.

 

Rack28R5#show ip ospf data

            OSPF Router with ID (150.28.5.5) (Process ID 1)

                Router Link States (Area 0)

Not sure but looks like Link Count is number of prefixes learned on the link

Nope it is the nb of physical interfaces and be careful with p2p links it counts 2 (extra stub links).
