Many enterprises use OSPF version 2 for their internal IPv4 routing protocol. OSPF has gone through changes over the years and the protocol has been adapted to work with IPv6. As organizations start ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an improved version of the Open Shortest Path First routing protocol (OSPF) specially designed for large-scale polar orbit constellations. To make the protocol run with ...

Cisco Packet Tracer lab: OSPF routing across 3 routers with DHCP server, loopback-based router IDs, passive interfaces, and PC connectivity.

Abstract: In a network topology, it is very usual to use various kinds of routing protocol for forwarding packets. A routing table is used in the memory of a router that keeps the track of routes to ...

Network layer routing protocols provide the communication protocols and algorithms for determining routes to every destination and also for distributing the routing information throughout the network.

Routing is the process of determining where to send data packets that are destined for addresses outside the local network. Routers gather and maintain routing information to enable the transmission ...
