Marks:- 10+ Name of student: Subhendu Pal Faculty Name: Priya Sawant Roll No: 1503 Date: 31-01-2018 Session Name: OSPF (Open shortest path first ) OSPF (Open shortest path first ):- OSPF provides a fast convergence with triggered, incremental updates via link-state advertisements (LSAs). OSPF is a classless protocol and allows a hierarchical design with VLSM and route summarization. The features of OSPF are as follows :- It was developed by IETF Open standard protocol, not Cisco proprietary It is the successor of RIP Uses SPF algorithm developed by Edgar Dijkstra Link state routing protocol Autonomous systems are divided into multiple areas for easy and efficient routing Classless routing protocol Works with Link state Advertisements Updates are through Multicast (224.0.0.5) Hello packets are sent every 10 secs Hierarchical design with Multiple areas Area 0 is called the backbone area Functioning of OSPF:- Unlike RIP, which broad...
