Hierarchical ,  Area type: backbone, std , Stub, NSSA
All routers share the same database when in the same Area
Route redistribution ( from/to other protocol ) + summarization 
OSPF-TE:  carry BW,

Dijkstra / SPF Algorithm
1- place the source router at the root of the tree
2- calculate the cost ( Ref BW/link BW) to the destination
3- pick the one with the lowest cost

OSPF-TE: build a separate tree with all other constrate: BW, ...
