Describe Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).

What will be an ideal response?


Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is the most commonly used IGP in the world. Most large enterprises use OSPF on their internal networks. Even an Autonomous System (AS), while still using BGP on its edge routers, will use OSPF internally because OSPF was designed from the ground up to work within a single AS. OSPF converges dramatically faster and is much more efficient than RIP. Odds are good that if you are using dynamic routing protocols, you're using OSPF.
