OSPF specification
RFC 1131, “OSPF specification”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 1989 by J. Moy. It has been obsoleted by RFC 1247 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This RFC is the specification of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Internet routing protocol. OSPF is in the class of Internal Gateway Protocols (IGPs) for distributing routing information between gateways of a single Autonomous System. This routing protocol is based on the link-state approach (in contrast to the distance-vector approach). This specification was developed by the OSPF Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
