Learn how routers
network using the OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol and unpick
Dijkstra’s Network Algorithm to see how OSPF performs the calculations to
determine the shortest or most appropriate path between two routers. OSPF: A
Network Routing Protocol dives deep into the OSPF protocol without
sacrificing simplicity in language. All of this is done with running examples
and illustrations to clarify concepts and enhance the enjoyment of networking.

OSPF: A Network
Routing Protocol
is an absorbing, comprehensible account of OSPF, including the algorithm which
is used for calculating its routes. While OSPF has traditionally been an
organizational networking protocol, in these exciting times of Software Defined
Networking (SDN), it has assumed an important role in the consolidated data
center too. Now that the traditional distinctions between server and network
roles are getting blurred, everyone in the data center needs to become familiar
with networking and networking protocols!
