Introduction to OSPF Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state routing protocol widely used in large enterprise networks. OSPF is designed to scale efficiently and support variable-length subnet masking (VLSM) and classless inter-domain routing (CIDR). As a dynamic routing protocol, OSPF allows routers to exchange routing information and compute the best paths for data transmission, ensuring efficient and reliable network performance.
