Definition

What does OSPF mean?

Open Shortest Path First
Open Shortest Path First is a routing protocol for Internet Protocol networks. It uses a link state routing algorithm and falls into the group of interior routing protocols, operating within a single autonomous system. It is defined as OSPF Version 2 in RFC 2328 for IPv4. The updates for IPv6 are specified as OSPF Version 3 in RFC 5340. OSPF is perhaps the most widely used interior gateway protocol in large enterprise networks. Intermediate System to Intermediate System, another link-state dynamic routing protocol, is more common in large service provider networks. The most widely used exterior gateway protocol is the Border Gateway Protocol, the principal routing protocol between autonomous systems on the Internet.
