OSPF with stub areas is the correct implementation. The reference to RFC 5340 points to OSPFv3, which Cisco documents as the OSPF version used for IPv6 and also capable of carrying IPv4 unicast address families in modern implementations. OSPF is a link-state routing protocol that provides loop-free convergence through SPF calculation, making it a stronger fit than static routing or RIP for a growing WAN. Stub areas reduce routing information inside branch or regional areas by blocking external LSAs and allowing the ABR to inject a default route. That reduces route-table size and limits update propagation, which matches the requirement to optimize routing tables and reduce routing updates between routers. EIGRP with multiple autonomous systems is not aligned with RFC 5340. BGP address families are useful in provider and MPLS VPN designs but are not the best internal route-optimization answer here. OMP is specific to Cisco SD-WAN, not a generic RFC 5340 routing design. Reference topics: OSPFv3, RFC 5340, stub areas, LSA reduction, SPF convergence.
