OSPF Advantages ans Disadvantages


Open Shortest Path First
[Note that version 1 of OSPF was never implemented.]

Origin: Based on RFC 2328

Type of protocol: Link-state, runs the Dijkstra algorithm to calculate the shortest-path first (SPF) tree

Metric: Calculates the cost to traverse router links to get to the destination, taking the bandwidth of the links into account

Methodology: Develops adjacencies with its neighbors, periodically sending hello packets to neighbors, flooding changes to neighbors when a link’s status changes, and sending “paranoia updates” to neighbors every 30 minutes of all recent link state changes

Ideal topology: Any network, small to very large
Strengths:
·        Converges quickly, compared to a distance vector protocol
·        Routing update packets are small, as the entire routing table is not sent
·        Not prone to routing loops
·        Scales very well to large networks
·        Recognizes the bandwidth of a link, taking this into account in link selection
·        Supports VLSM or CIDR
·        Supports a long list of optional features that many of the other protocols do not

Weaknesses:

·        More complex to configure and understand than a distance vector protocol
