In OSPFv3 (used for IPv6), Link LSAs (Type 8) are not advertised throughout the entire area. Instead, they are only advertised on a specific link (i.e., the local link). This differs from OSPFv2, where LSAs like Type 1 or Type 2 are advertised across the area.

“Link LSAs are generated by routers for each attached link and sent only on that link, not flooded throughout the area.”
