Link State Routing Protocols
• A link state routing protocol is one that uses the Dijkstra shortest path first algorithm
• The shortest path is not the one with the fewest hops in all cases
Link State Protocol Operation
• In general link state routing protocols operate in this manner– Each routers records its own directly
connected networks– Each router exchanges a hello packet with its
directly connected neighbors– Each router creates a Link State Packet that
contains what it knows about its neighbors such as identification, link type, and bandwidth

Link State Protocol Operation
– This Link State Packet is sent to all its neighbors who then store the information, after that they forward it until all routers have the same information
– Once all the routers have the same information each one constructs a topological map of the network from which the best routes to a destination are computed

Link State Routing Protocols
• There are only two link state routing protocols– OSPF– IS-IS
