Neighbor shows DRother on point-to-point network

hi,

i'm studying EOS in my lab this is my topology

im configuring OSPF between Core1 (EXOS) and PROD_RTR (Cisco IOS)
both links are set to Point-to-Point
OSPF Neibours came up on both Cisco and EXOS,

on EXOS
Core1.16 # show ospf neighbor
Neighbor ID Pri State Up/Dead Time Address Interface
BFD Session State
==========================================================================================
10.10.10.20 1 FULL /DROTHER 00:00:00:44/00:00:00:03 172.20.20.2 PROD
None on IOS
PROD_RTR#show ip ospf neighbor
Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
10.10.10.10 0 FULL/ - 00:00:32 172.20.20.1 Ethernet0/0my question, why does it show on EXOS and full /DROTHER?
AFAIK, that state shouldn't show if we are using PTP and network type?
Thanks

Hello Sulaiman Al Darmaki,

It is expected behaviour. OSPF routers may operate as DR, BDR or DROTHER only.
No DR/BDR elected on point-to-point or point-to-multipoint links, so the only "DROTHER" is left.

Best Regards,
Nikolay
