OpenShortestPathFirst (OSPF) was also created as a response to ["RoutingInformationProtocol"]'s (RIPs) shortcomings. It is an open protocol defined in [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1247.txt RFC1247]. A very popular protocol now (2003), OSPF uses a LinkState algorithm. [http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/ospf.htm CISCO] also has a good description available online.
