Abstract

OSPF is a widely used interior gateway protocol to provide connectivity within the large-scale organization. The role of routing protocols is to calculate the best path selection towards the destination address. OSPF being an open standard protocol which provides multi-vender support becomes the best choice to be used within the network for providing internal connectivity. Like OSPF there are many other routing protocols like Border Gateway Protocol, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol, Routing Information Protocol, IS-IS, etc. which are also used to provide internal network connectivity. This study aims to discuss OSPF path parameters that is cost or metric convergence and their modification when used with multiple bandwidths available in the network path. Optimised selection of OSPF path metric parameters is the aim so as to achieve a better path selection criterion within the network. With OSPF path selection metric multiple combinations would be tested so as to find an optimum solution for metric calculation within a large OSPF network.
