This project briefly explains the concept of OSPF(Open Shortest Path First) protocol and shows its implementation with a use case scenario. Here the scenario is communication and transmission of data, within the branches of a call center.
It also illustrates OSPF protocol’s benefits and possible issues. The OSPF Protocol is a dynamic routing protocol which provides a highly functional open protocol that any vendor can use to communicate using the TCP/IP protocol family. It can converge the networks extremely fast and ensures loop free paths.
It has features that allow for the stricter propagation of routes, for load sharing, and for selective route importing. It can also provide better load sharing on external links rather than other IGPs (Internal Gateway Protocols).
OSPF Protocol is a famous TCP/IP Internal Gateway Protocol which is used to distribute information within a single system. It is based on link-state technology which is different from algorithms like RIPv4 which are used in Internet Routing protocols.
