Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions to Cisco expert Vignesh R. P. about how to configure and troubleshoot Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

The OSPF protocol is based on link-state or SPF technology. This is a departure from the Bellman-Ford base used by traditional TCP/IP internet routing protocols.
