OSPF

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000860

A routing protocol that determines the best path for data packets within a large network, such as an enterprise network. It operates by having routers exchange information about their local connections and then calculating the shortest path to other routers. OSPF is an interior gateway protocol, meaning it is used for routing within an autonomous system.
