Open Shortest Path First (OSPF):

OSPF is a link state algorithm in which it measures the delay or cost of each router.

  • Each router in the network sends a packet with the corresponding timestamp. This timestamp measures the time of the packets traversed to and from a neighboring router.
  • After the router collected the link state packets from its neighbors, it constructs a routing table using Dijkstra’s least cost algorithm.
  • Thus, the OSPF works based upon the timestamp; if the node in the “Denver” is crashed then it passes the information more quickly to all other nodes in the network.
