Learn how routersnetwork using the OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol and unpickDijkstras Network Algorithm to see how OSPF performs the calculations todetermine the shortest or most appropriate path between two routers. OSPF: ANetwork Routing Protocol dives deep into the OSPF protocol withoutsacrificing simplicity in language. All of this is done with running examplesand illustrations to clarify concepts and enhance the enjoyment of networking.
OSPF: A NetworkRouting Protocolis an absorbing, comprehensible account of OSPF, including the algorithm whichis used for calculating its routes. While OSPF has traditionally been anorganizational networking protocol, in these exciting times of Software DefinedNetworking (SDN), it has assumed an important role in the consolidated datacenter too. Now that the traditional distinctions between server and networkroles are getting blurred, everyone in the data center needs to become familiarwith networking and networking protocols!
