Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol
The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol is an interior gateway protocol
(IGP) intended for use in large networks. Using a link state algorithm, OSPF
exchanges routing information between routers in an autonomous system. Routers
synchronize their topological databases. After the routers are synchronized and
the routing tables are built, the routers flood topology information only in
response to some topological change. For OSPF, the “best” path to a destination is
the path that offers the least cost metric delay. In OSPF, cost metrics are
configurable, allowing you to specify preferred paths.
OSPF is a link-state protocol. A router running a link-state protocol periodically
tests the status of the physical connection to each of its neighbor routers and sends
this information to its other neighbors. A link-state protocol does not require each
router to send its entire routing table to its neighbors. Instead, each OSPF router
floods only link-state change information throughout the autonomous system (or
area, if the AS is divided into areas). This process is referred to as the
synchronization of the routers’ topological databases.
With the link-state information, each router builds a shortest-path tree with itself
as the root of the tree. It can then identify the shortest path from itself to each
destination and build its routing table.
OSPF supports CIDR and can carry supernet advertisements within a routing
domain.
OSPF Addresses and Variable-Length Masks
A destination in an OSPF route advertisement is expressed as an IP address and a
variable-length mask. Together, the address and the mask indicate the range of
destinations to which the advertisement applies.
The ability to specify a range of networks allows OSPF to send one summary
advertisement that represents multiple destinations. For example, a summary
advertisement for the destination 128.185.0.0 with a mask of 0xffff0000 describes
a single route to destinations 128.185.0.0 through 128.185.255.255.
