What is OSPF
OSPF is a dynamic routing protocol used in an enterprise or data center networks to perform routing of various IP subnets existed in a large-scale network. It employs link-state routing, where routers exchange information about their local network connections to construct a topological map. OSPF enables fast convergence, load balancing, and scalability, making it ideal for enterprise networks.
