A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group of the IETF. Title : OSPF Hybrid Broadcast and P2MP Interface Type Author(s) : Nischal Sheth Lili Wang Jeffrey Zhang Filename : draft-ietf-ospf-hybrid-bcast-and-p2mp-04.txt Pages : 16 Date : 2012-08-10 Abstract: This document describes a mechanism to model a broadcast network as a hybrid of broadcast and point-to-multipoint networks for purposes of OSPF operation. Neighbor discovery and maintenance as well as LSA database synchronization are performed using the broadcast model, but the network is represented using the point-to-multipoint model in the router LSAs of the routers connected to it. This allows an accurate representation of the cost of communication between different routers on the network, while maintaining the network efficiency of broadcast operation. This approach is relatively simple and requires minimal changes to OSPF. This document updates both OSPFv2 [RFC2328] and OSPFv3 [RFC5340].
