Shortest Path Tree

To build Router A’s shortest path tree for the network diagrammed below, Router A is put at the root of the tree and the smallest cost link to each destination

network is calculated.

Figure 6- 98. Constructing a Shortest Path Tree

The diagram above shows the network from the viewpoint of Router A. Router A can reach 192.213.11.0 through Router B with a cost of 10+5=15. Router A

can reach 222.211.10.0 through Router C with a cost of 10+10=20. Router A can also reach 222.211.10.0 through Router B and Router D with a cost of

10+5+10=25, but the cost is higher than the route through Router C.This higher-cost route will not be included in the Router A’s shortest path tree.The

resulting tree will look like this:
