BasicNotesonOSPF(OpenShortestPathFirst)~SysnetNotes
OSPF uses cost as its metric, which is computed based on the bandwidth of the
link.
OSPF COST = Reference bandwidth/Link Bandwidth
OSPF has no hop-count limit. But cisco s
OSPF forms neighbor relationships, called adjacencies, with other routers in the
same Area by
All routers must be connected to area 0 (Backbone Area)
All Routers in an AREA have same topology table
OSPF summarice networks in ABR (Area Border Router)
One Area contain localized updates.
ASBR (Autonomous system Border Router) Connects OSPF with other dynamic
protocols like EIGRP OR RIP
only ABR and ASBR can summarize in OSPF
OSPF only become neigbour with routers in same area
In every single network in OSPF having a shared segment,there will be a DR
and BDR
In a shared ethernet segment ,Only DR and BDR will be in FULL state and others
might be in 2 Way state
The OSPF process builds and maintains three separate tables:
A neighbor table contains a list of all neighboring routers.
A topology table contains a list of all possible routes to all known networks
within an area.
A routing table contains the best route for each known network.

The hello and dead timer for Broadcast and P2P network is 10sec and 40sec respectively
and for the NBMA network it is 30sec and 120sec.
