OSPF

Course Description

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a popular link-state routing protocol. Routers will exchange pieces of information called LSAs (link state advertisement) in order to build a complete topology database which we call the LSDB (link state database). These lessons will teach you everything, we start with the basics and work our way through the most advanced OSPF topics.
