OSPF overview
OSPF is a link-state routing protocol. The protocol uses link-state advertisements (LSA) to update
neighboring routers regarding its interfaces and information on those interfaces. The router floods
these LSAs to all neighboring routers to update them regarding the interfaces. Each router maintains
an identical database that describes its area topology to help a router determine the shortest path
between it and any neighboring router.
The Brocade device supports the following types of LSAs, which are described in RFC 2328 and 3101:
• Router link
• Network link
• Summary link
• Autonomous system (AS) summary link
• AS external link
• Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) external link
• Grace LSAs
