Is Totally Stubby Area and Stub Area the same except that Totally STubby is for Cisco?

Thanks in advance

They are not the same. "Totally stubby" is a Cisco extension. A totally stubby area is a stub area in which only the default route is flooded.

If the default route is the only one flooded on Totally Stubby Area, then what is flooded on a stub area? The explanation on the book looks similar since both use default route 0.0.0.0 and they do not accept info about routes external to the as.

Please explain more...
Thanks again dmaftei....

Here's what's flooded in stub/totally stubby areas:

  • Stub area: summary-network LSAs for networks that are internal to the AS (but external to the stub area, of course), including a summary-network LSA for the default route.
  • Totally stubby area: only the summary-network LSA for the default route.

There is another OSPF term you may need to know:
Not So Stubby Area.
NSSA doesn't allow Type 4 & 5 LSA, but does allow Type 7 LSA
