*Do you know what an OSPF is?

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a widely used interior gateway protocol designed for routing within a single autonomous system. It is based on the link-state routing method, where each router maintains a map of the network and independently calculates the best path to each destination using Dijkstra’s algorithm.

One of the key features of OSPF is its fast convergence. When a network change occurs, OSPF quickly updates routing tables across the network to reflect the new topology. This helps maintain reliable and efficient communication between devices. Additionally, OSPF supports Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM) and Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR), providing flexibility in IP addressing.

OSPF is also designed to be scalable through its use of areas. A large network can be divided into smaller, more manageable sections called areas, reducing routing overhead and improving performance. The backbone area (Area 0) connects all other areas and ensures the smooth exchange of routing information.

Some benefits of OSPF include:

Use of cost as a routing metric, allowing administrators to prioritize faster or more reliable links.
Authentication support for secure routing updates.
