拓撲爲兩臺路由器通過ethernet直連，運行OSPF
R1----R2
R1上寫一條靜態路由，下一跳關聯到R2以太網的IP地址，重發布進OSPF，R2不會接收這個外部路由，因爲R1的forwarding address 符和non-0.0.0.0的條件，R2所看到的這條外部路由的forwarding address是它自己的以太網接口地址。
These conditions set the forwarding address field to a non−zero address:
OSPF is enabled on the ASBR's next hop interface AND
ASBR's next hop interface is non−passive under OSPF AND
ASBR's next hop interface is not point−to−point AND
ASBR's next hop interface is not point−to−multipoint AND
ASBR's next hop interface address falls under the network range specified in the router ospf command.
這時候把R1的以太網接口的網絡類型換成P2P的，R2收到的T5的LSA中轉發地址爲0.0.0.0，這時R2會將路由指回到R1，造成環路。

如果R1的靜態路由寫爲：
ip route 12.12.12.12 255.255.255.255 f0/0 tag 1
那麼也會產生0.0.0.0的forwarding address，造成環路。
