Abstract:
Many popular topologies for large-scale networks have highly regular
structure with distinctive design pattern. Examples of such
topologies include hub-and-spoke (also known as "star") common in
enterprise WAN networks, fat-tree and Clos topologies common in
datacenters. For number of reasons in such large-scale networks
distance-vector protocols perform better than OSPF. On the other
hand network backbones have no highly regular topology pattern and
there OSPF outperforms distance-vector protocols. As a result large-
scale networks frequently employ different routing protocols in
different regions of the network, complicating network operations.
This document proposes OSPF extensions to improve scalability of
routing for large-scale networks.
