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.
