OSPF Protocol Introduction
OSPF (open shortest path first) is an IGP (interior gateway protocol)

routing protocol and it is based on link state algorithm.

OSPF runs on IP layer directly and the value of IP protocol field is 89

OSPF Basic Features
Supporting classless inter-domain routing (CIDR)

Dividing the whole routing domain into different areas

Loop-free

Fast route update and convergence

Using IP multicast address to send and receive protocol

message

Supporting ECMP (equal cost multi-path)

Supporting authentication
