Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a routing protocol for Internet Protocol (IP)
networks. It uses a link state routing (LSR) algorithm and falls into the group of
interior gateway protocols (IGPs), operating within a single autonomous system
(AS). It is defined as OSPF Version 2 in RFC 2328 (1998) for IPv4. The updates for
IPv6 are specified as OSPF Version 3 in RFC 5340 (2008).
OSPF is perhaps the most widely used IGP in large enterprise networks.
Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), another link-state dynamic
routing protocol, is more common in large service provider networks.
