OSPF

(Open Shortest Path First)

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a dynamic routing protocol used in IP networks to determine the most efficient path for data packets. It is a link-state protocol that uses Dijkstra's algorithm to calculate the shortest path.

OSPF is widely used in large enterprise networks due to its scalability, fast convergence, and support for
VLAN and CIDR. It divides networks into areas to optimize routing efficiency and reduce overhead. OSPF is a key component of modern network infrastructure, ensuring reliable and efficient data transmission.
