Can some explain Link State Routing protocol? isha 12-January-2008 01:50:47 PMComments en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-state_routing_protocol Posted by crouse Link State algorithms are also known as Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithms. SPF recreates the exact topology of the entire network for route computation by listening at the first hand information. Link State takes bandwidth into account using a cost metric. Link State protocols only send updates when a change occurs, which makes them more attractive for larger networks. Bandwidth and delay are the most heavily weighed parts of the metric when using Link-State protocols. EX: OSPF and NLSP. Benefits of Link State protocols: 1. Allows for a larger scalable network 2. Reduces convergence time 3. Allows "super netting Posted by elie |
