Uses OpenShortestPathFirst OSPF algorithm The LSP information recieved is used to create a graph of the network. Then routing is easy because we use DijkstrasAlgorithm, to find the shortest path. See cse952lec03.pdf. The LSP contains the following information

   1. ID of the node that created the LSP
   2. List of directly connected neighbors, cost of link
   3. A sequence number
   4. TTL

OpenShortestPathFirst OSPF is an example protocol

=== Plus ===

   * LinkState is fast statble and takes a log of space.
   * It is founded upon reliable flooding.

  • Who: Send to all nodes
  • What: Send Link state packet (LSP) about direct connected links
  • When: Periodically or when a change occurs (triggered)
  • How: Reliable flooding
