A Case Study of OSPF Behavior in a Large Enterprise Network

Overview Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is widely deployed in IP networks to manage intra-domain routing. OSPF is a link-state protocol, in which routers reliably flood "Link State Advertisements" (LSAs), enabling each to build a consistent, global view of the routing topology. Reliable performance hinges on routing stability, yet the behavior of large operational OSPF networks is not well understood. This paper provides a case study on the characteristics and dynamics of LSA traffic for a large enterprise network. This network consists of several hundred routers, distributed in tens of OSPF areas, and connected by LANs and private lines.
