ospfd


ospfd provides an OSPF version 2 routing protocol as described in RFC2178. OSPF is one of IGPs (Interior Gateway Protocols). Compared with RIP, OSPF can serve much more networks and priod of convergence is very short. OSPF is widely used in large networks such as ISP backbone and enterprise network.
