What Is Used To Facilitate Hierarchical Routing In Ospf?

What is used to facilitate hierarchical routing in OSPF?

• Router election.
• Calculation of OSPF.
• Summarization.
• Multiple areas use. 

Answer: OSPF works to support the idea that keeps the large routing table, and extra SPF calculation. The router that is present in the area can share information related to the link state. OSPF allows the areas that are connected to the backbone are arranged in a hierarchical form.

The hierarchical routing is used to establish the huge networks because when the network becomes large the resource requirement increases to manage the network and controls. OSPF can work with the hierarchical structure. The resource utilization in the TCP network is:

• The memory of the network is utilized by the router table and various protocol data including the OSPF link-state DB.
• The computing resources are utilized in the function of protocol and calculations. The resources in the OSPF are to measure the shortest path to the utilization of the CPU.
• In the distributed data the bandwidth, in OSPF is utilized by the synchronization of the CPU.

Some of the things that need to consider when OSPF operates with the hierarchical structure are:

• The structure needs to exist, for the OSPF proper work.
• Addressing the explicit topology has precedence.

In the OSPF the hierarchical structure must have the area such as the backbone area-area 0-to which is used the connect the non-backbone areas directly. When one interface works in the area the router act as the OSPF member. The router on the boundaries of backbone and non-backbone areas is known as ABR (area border router). The boundary in the area is the ABR as well. If the outside routes forward to OSPF AS, the router which can redistribute the routes are known as ASBR. In the manual route summary, which is performed in ABR and ASBR, the design and the mapping of the areas must be done properly.
