especially since if a single paket is lost, the md5 authentication won't work until the neighbor goes down. Has anyone from the developer team read this? i believe this is a very useful feature, because multicast pakets on wireless suck and loosing ospf pakets because there sent via multicast sucks even more. That would allow us to avoid multicast and only use unicast (which would be beneficial in wireless environment).

I'd be very happy if Mikrotik included "non-broadcast" option for both these network types (ptp and ptmp) - just as Cisco does (ip ospf network point-to-multipoint non-boradcast). Example: The DR advertises the networks existence and the list of routers connected to it. The only "problem" is that they both use multicast for their hello packets (just enable ospf logging and you'll see that). 32 automatic routes for neighbors in the case of ptmp). Both these network types don't use DR/BDR and have other nice features (eg. One of the concepts that you need to learn about OSPF is DR/BDR election in broadcast network types (multi-access network such as Ethernet LAN). What I'm talking about is point-to-point (very different from nbma) and point-to-multipoint (again - very different from nbma). NBMA is perfectly fine and works as expected.
