Abstract

With the increasing demand of internet to provide connectivity worldwide, the need for more service providers is also increasing. Border Gateway Protocol is the only routing protocol that provides connectivity over these service providers. Different service providers use BGP for exchanging these public routes. These large organizations are referred to as Autonomous System (AS) which are responsible for the overall internet connectivity worldwide. But within these AS the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) serves as an interior gateway protocol. Because of its flexible and scalable feature, OSPF becomes the most commonly used routing protocol for internal management. OSPF can also be used with a multi-vendor environment i.e., using networking devices from more than one vendor like CISCO, Juniper, HP, etc. This study aims to discuss the OSPF default metric (cost) computation for different types of links used over the network so as to achieve a better path selection cost mechanism when OSPF is used with other routing protocols as well to manage any organization network.
