Introduction to Single-Area OSPF and Multi-Area OSPF

Because of its hierarchical design, OSPF is more efficient and scalable. The OSPF segments the network into different areas. An area is a group of routers sharing the same link-state information in their Link-State Databases (LSDBs). We can implement the OSPF in two ways. Single Area OSPF (Area 0) Area 0 is also known as… Read more

Introduction to Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

By Asad Ijaz

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state routing protocol replacing distance vector routing protocol, RIP. RIP was acceptable in the early days of networking. RIP uses hop count as the metric which is not working better in the larger network. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) has many advantages over RIP. It can scale a
