چکیده

A transit-only network is defined as a network connecting routers only. In OSPF, transit-only networks are usually configured with routable IP addresses, which are advertised in Link State Advertisements (LSAs) but are not needed for data traffic. In addition, remote attacks can be launched against routers by sending packets to these transit-only networks. This document presents a mechanism to hide transit-only networks to speed up network convergence and reduce vulnerability to remote attacks.

Study on a Fast OSPF Route Reconstruction Method under Network Failures

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), which is used widely on networks, has a Router Dead Interval problem. If a (backup) designated router has stopped operation due to failure, the OSPF routers await a hello packet acknowledgment for the router dead interval to recognize that the designated router has ceased the operation. The Router Dead Interval is 40 sec This interval time is not only long for m...

Guidelines for Running OSPF Over Frame Relay Networks

This memo specifies guidelines for implementors and users of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol to bring about improvements in how the protocol runs over frame relay networks. We show how to configure frame relay interfaces in a way that obviates the "full-mesh" connectivity required by current OSPF implementations. This allows for simpler, more economic network designs. These...

QoS-aware multi-plane routing method for OSPF-based IP access networks

This paper presents a study of a method termed, Multi-Plane routing, that maximizes path diversity in IP routing and is targeted for IP access networks (AN). The motivation for the work is in the specific shortcomings of the conventional intra-domain IP routing principles such as ”shortest-path” and ”best-effort” when applied in IP ANs. We generalize these networks as the transit between the ac...

Application of A Route Expansion Algorithm for Transit Routes Design in Grid Networks

Establishing a network of transit routes with satisfactory demand coverage is one of the main goals of transitagencies in moving towards a sustainable urban development. A primary concern in obtaining such anetwork is reducing operational costs. This paper deals with the problem of minimizing construction costsin a grid transportation network while satisfying a certain level o...

OSPF Extensions for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

Extending a standard routing algorithm to support mobile networks is better thandesigning a new algorithm from scratch. An extension to a standard is more likely to beadopted by industry and it reduces the overall cost of deployment. The Open Shortest PathFirst (OSPF) routing algorithm is widely used for wired networks. This paper surveysthree proposals to extend OSPF to support Mobile Ad-hoc N...
