Max areas per OSPF process

Ever wondered how many OSPF areas are supported in single OSPF process? I am not sure about Cisco, although it seems this is neither documented in H3C or in Cisco documents. I had to learn it through the hard way, and it seems the H3C routers supports only 50 areas per OSPF process (confirmed on MSR 30-40). Once you have 50 areas in a process, and you try to create 51st area, you shall encounter the error: "warning: ospf 1 maximum limit reached" The OSPF that I encountered this error was having following details: <ROUTER>display ospf br          OSPF Process 1 with Router ID 10.1.201.125                  OSPF Protocol Information  RouterID: 10.1.201.125     Router Type:  ABR  ASBR  NSSA  Route Tag: 0  Multi-VPN-Instance is not enabled  Applications Supported: MPLS Traffic-Engineering  SPF-schedule-interval: 5  LSA generation interval: 5  LSA arrival interval: 1000  Transmit pacing: Interval: 20 Count: 3  Default ASE parameters: Metric: 1 Ta
