The OSPF environment

An Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routed environment is best suited to a large-to-very-large, multipath, dynamic IP internetwork.

  • A large-to-very-large internetwork contains more than 50 networks.

  • Multipath means that there are multiple paths for packets to travel between any two endpoints on the internetwork.

  • Dynamic means that the topology of the internetwork changes over time because networks are added and removed and links occasionally go down and come back up.

Candidates for an OSPF routed environment include:

  • A corporate or institutional campus.

  • A worldwide corporate or institutional internetwork.
