Routers within a standard area know the topology and routes within that particular area. They are useful for dividing larger networks into smaller, more manageable units.
It distributes routing information between areas, not backbone area types. OSPF AreasĪn autonomous system can be divided into areas this helps reduce the link state advertisements and other overhead traffic that will be otherwise sent to the network. It aims to efficiently route traffic by computing the shortest pathways considering metrics like link bandwidth, delay, and network topology changes.
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) dynamically finds the optimal route for routing data packets within an IP network in computer networking. Comparison with Other Routing Protocols.
