69-OSPF Introduction

OSPF, or Open Shortest Path First, is a dynamic link-state routing protocol that utilizes the Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm and operates using IP protocol type 89. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6, offers features like VLSM, route summarization, and authentication, and uses multicast addresses for communication. OSPF requires more memory and CPU resources, operates on areas with Area 0 as the backbone, and is considered complex to set up and troubleshoot.
