OSPFv3 (Open Shortest Path First version 3) is a routing protocol which is
described in RFC5340 entitled OSPF for IPv6. It is a Link State-based IGP
(Interior Gateway Protocol) routing protocol. It is widely used with medium to
large-sized enterprise networks.
The characteristics of OSPFv3 are:
- Provides a loop free topology using SPF algorithm.
- Allows hierarchical routing using area 0 (backbone area) as the top of the
hierarchy. - Supports load balancing with equal cost routes for same destination.
- OSPFv3 is a classless protocol and allows for a hierarchical design with
VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking) and route summarization. - Scales enterprise size network easily with area concept.
- Provides fast convergence with triggered, incremental updates via
Link State Advertisements (LSAs).
