Pragmatic Considerations
OSPF spec is an excellent implementation guide
- If followed to the letter, a working, if na_ve, implementation will likely result
- Spec is complex but has almost no ÅgwhyÅh information, so other (potentially more scalable) implementation approaches are at the implementorÅfs own risk
- Barrier to entry in high-end router market (you need to know the protocol intuitively)
