	What is OSPF? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: Open Shortest Path First protocol
		OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a router protocol used within larger autonomous system networks in preference to the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), an older routing protocol that is installed in many of today's corporate networks.
		Using OSPF, a host that obtains a change to a routing table or detects a change in the network immediately multicasts the information to all other hosts in the network so that all will have the same routing table information.
		OSPF also lets the user assign cost metrics to a given host router so that some paths are given preference.

	Open shortest path first
		Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state, hierarchical Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing algorithm.
		OSPF can utilise authentication for forming adjacencies and therefore exchanging routing information unlike RIP which is more vulnerable to external attacks.
		Multicast extensions to OSPF (MOSPF[?]) was a largely unsuccessful attempt to adapt OSPF for use as multicast routing protocol.

	OSPF protocol (Open Shortest Path First) - DC-OSPF from Data Connection
		The OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol is one of a family of IP Routing protocols, and is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for the Internet, used to distribute IP routing information throughout a single Autonomous System (AS) in an IP network.
		The OSPF protocol is a link-state routing protocol, which means that the routers exchange topology information with their nearest neighbors.
		The main advantage of a link state routing protocol like OSPF is that the complete knowledge of topology allows routers to calculate routes that satisfy particular criteria.

	OSPF
		OSPF is a link-state protocol, as opposed to RIP, which is distance-vector protocol.
		Also, as we stated earlier, OSPF is a link state or shortest path first protocol, in contrast to most of the internet protocols, which are based on some type of Bellman-Ford approach.
		OSPF is classified as a dynamic, adaptive protocol in that it adjusts to problems in the network and provides short convergence periods to stabilize the routing table.

	OSPF: Open Shortest Path First \| NetworkDictionary
		OSPF is an interior gateway protocol used for routing between routers belonging to a single Autonomous System.
		OSPF uses link-state technology in which routers send each other information about the direct connections and links which they have to other routers.
		In OSPF, the source and destination of a routing protocol packet are the two ends of an (potential) adjacency.

	Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
		Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a routing protocol which was first defined as version 2 in RFC 2328.
		OSPF uses areas to organize a network into a hierarchal structure; it summarizes route information to reduce the number of advertised routes and thereby reduce network load and uses a designated router (elected via a process that is part of OSPF) to reduce the quantity and frequency of Link State Advertisements.
		OSPF areas are used to impose a hierarchial structure to the flow of data over the network.

	Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
		Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a particularly efficient IGP routing protocol that is faster than RIP, but also more complex.
		The OSPF routing algorithm was developed to provide an alternative to RIP, based on Shortest Path First algorithms instead of the Bellman-Ford algorithm.
		The main difference between OSPF and RIP is that RIP only keeps track of the closest router for each destination address, while OSPF keeps track of a complete topological database of all connections in the local network.

	Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Conformance and Performance Test :: White Papers :: Ixia - Leader in IP Performance ...
		OSPF is a link-state protocol: the concept of OSPF routing is based on creating, maintaining, and distributing a link-state database, which describes a collection of routers and their operational interfaces, how they are interconnected, and the cost to use the interfaces.
		OSPF groups a set of routers with a single entry to other areas, and offers the feature of classifying this area as a stub area, primarily to summarize and segment the network routing tables.
		OSPF areas are borders to the backbone and serve as redistribution and summarization points.

	RFC 2328 (rfc2328) - OSPF Version 2
		The path that the packet will travel can be broken up into three contiguous pieces: an intra-area path from the source to an area border router, a backbone path between the source and destination areas, and then another intra-area path to the destination.
		OSPF protocol packets have been designed so that large protocol packets can generally be split into several smaller protocol packets.
		If RT11 receives an OSPF protocol packet on its interface to Network N8, it may want to associate the packet with the interface to Area 2, or with the virtual link to Router RT10 (which is part of the backbone).

	Aricent OSPF - Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol
		For strict explicit route, CSPF ensures that the resultant path uses all the hops specified in the explicit route, which are present in the path, in the same order in which the application had specified.
		For loose explicit route, CSPF ensures that the resultant path uses all the hops specified in the explicit route, which are present in the path, but may also have additional hops in between two hops specified in the explicit input.
		Provides a primary path and asks for a segment protection path (new path to be calculated for a segment of the primary path).

		OSPF for IPv6 is also referred to as OSPF Version 3 (OSPFv3).
		Standard OSPF link-state database flooding mechanisms are used to distribute Opaque LSAs to all or some limited portion of the OSPF topology.
		First, to reduce flooding overhead, an optimized flooding procedure is used in which only (Backup) MDRs flood new link state advertisements (LSAs) back out the receiving interface; reliable flooding is ensured by retransmitting LSAs along adjacencies.

	OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) Definition
		Stands for "Open Shortest Path First." OSPF is a method of finding the shortest path from one router to another in a local area network (LAN).
		As long as a network is IP-based, the OSPF algorithm will calculate the most efficient way for data to be transmitted.
		When data is sent from one location to another, the OSPF algorithm compares the available options and chooses the most efficient way for the data to be sent.

		When you first plug it in, it offers to be used as a 'memory boost' for your system, or as the usual thumb drive for storage...

		For example, an OSPF router will issue a broadcast when it first comes on-line, publishing routes for the networks that it is physically attached to or that it has been explicitly configured to publish.
		Other OSPF routers make a note of these newly-available networks, and until something else changes, no other routing broadcasts are issued.
		OSPF networks require a considerable amount of planning and administration, and are therefore not appropriate for smaller networks that do not require the low-bandwidth consumption of OSPF.
