OSPF Version 3
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state routing protocol. OSPF uses link-state
advertisements (LSAs) to update neighboring routers about its interfaces and information on those
interfaces. The device floods LSAs to all neighboring routers to update them about 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.
