OSPF, or Open Shortest Path First Protocol is an industry standard link state routing protocol used to determine best paths across an IP v4 computer network. OSPF v3 is currently completing development and will provide best path information through IPV6 networks. Link State routing protocols rely on the flooding of Link State Advertisments between neighboring routers in a network to build a database of the interfaces and the neighbor routers connected to those interfaces. This information is then processed using the SPF or Dyksrta algorythm in order to build a "map" of the network. Costs, based on the bandwidth of the individual interfaces, can be calculated to determine the best (lowest cost) path from the router to any network in the domain. OSPF is officially described in RFC 2328 and is an open standard. It is probably the most popular interior gateway protocol in use today.

Which two of these are routing protocol?
Rip ospf
Which is classified as a link-state routing protocol?
There are actually two OSPF and IS-IS
What type of routing protocol is OSPF?
OSPF is short form of open shortest path first. OSPF is based on linked state routing.
Is OSPF link state or distance vector or path vector protocol?
OSPF is a link-state routing protocol.
Is OSPF a classful or classless link-state routing protocol?
OSPF is a classless link-state routing protocol. RIP version 1 and IGRP are both classful distance vector routing protocols, EIGRP is a hybrid protocol that supports classless addressing.
What type of protocol is OSPF?
OSPF is short form of open shortest path first. OSPF is based on linked state routing.
What does the Cisco IOS use to calculate the OSPF cost to a destination network?
OSPF stands for open shortest path first. OSPF is an exterior routing protocol. OSPF uses Path vector routing algorithm.
Which protocol used for routing?
A routing protocol is a protocol that routers use to tell each other about available routes. Some of the routing protocols include RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP.
What routing protocol is the most popular link-state protocol used within a large organization?
OSPF
Ccna2 version 4.0 chapter 11?
Router R1 is participating in the OSPF routing protocol as well as the EIGRP routing protocol. If R1 learns of network 192.168.10.0/24 from both the OSPF and internal EIGRP routing protocols, how will the route appear in the routing table of R1?
Can you explain to you the OSPF?
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a type of routing protocol known as an interior gateway protocol or an interior routing protocol. The routers in an internet are responsible for receiving and forwarding packets through the interconnected set of networks. Each router makes routing decisions based on knowledge of the topology and traffic/delay conditions of the internet. The routing protocol between routers is used to exchange topology and traffic delay information. An interior routing protocol is used within a portion of the internet called an autonomous system, which simply means a connected set of routers that are managed by a single organization. OSPF is the most commonly used interior routing protocol.
How do routing protocols and routable protocols differ?
A routing protocol refers to a protocol that is only used between routers, such as OSPF and EIGRP. A routed protocol, meanwhile, refers to a protocol wherein data can be routed, such a IP, AppleTalk, and IPX.
