What is ospfv3AreaImportAsExtern?

Classifies this OSPFv3 area as a normal area (importExternal), a stub area (importNoExternal, no external routes let in), or an NSSA (importNssa, external routes allowed in via a special NSSA-LSA type). Admins set this to stub or NSSA on edge areas to shrink the routing table on routers that don't need to see every external route.
