Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia | 0.03 sec. |
OSPF(Open Shortest Path First) A routing protocol that determines the best path for routing IP traffic over a TCP/IP network based on distance between nodes and several quality parameters. OSPF is an interior gateway protocol (IGP), which is designed to work within an autonomous system. It is also a link state protocol that provides less router to router update traffic than the RIP protocol (distance vector protocol) that it was designed to replace. See RIP and routing protocol.

Between the two, virtually anything the Cisco network architect needs is here; from basic IP routing and implementation processes to OSPF operation, redistribution and more. Aside from a design that allows full redundancy from the switch fabric modules down to the power and cooling systems, the TigerChassis boasts a robust feature set including support for IP routing, (RIP v1, RIP v2), with future support of OSPF, DVMRP and PIM. OSPF route discovery: Advantages of the dynamic route discovery protocol, OSPF, over a distance vector protocol such as RIP building a topological database and a routing table using OSPF benefits of dividing a network into areas. |
