OSPF version 2 (IPv4)
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:
