Interior Routing Protocols OSPF and IS-IS Questions

In depth knowledge of link state interior gateway protocols such as Open Shortest Path First and Intermediate System to Intermediate System. Topics include adjacency formation and neighbor discovery, link state advertisement exchange, the link state database and shortest path first computation, area and level design, types of area boundaries, route summarization and redistributing routes, fast convergence techniques, traffic engineering implications, and troubleshooting approaches for adjacency and area related failures. The description also covers scaling considerations, metrics and cost tuning, and tradeoffs when choosing between protocol designs for large networks.
