Fusion OSPFv2
(Open Shortest Path First)

Fusion OSPF is the source code implementation of Version 2 of the Open Shortest Path Routing Protocol (OSPF) per RFC 2328. It has been designed specifically for operation in high performance routers. In addition to complying with RFC 2328 it also supports "not-so-stubby" areas per RFC 1587, as well as the flooding of Opaque Link State Advertisements per RFC 2370.

Fusion OSPF is fully integrated with the Fusion embedded TCP/IP stack and IP routing engine, and provides the same high level of portability to a wide variety of embedded target environments as do all of Softworks' protocol products. The only requirement is that the Fusion IP stack must be ported to the target.

Fusion OSPFv2 features:

• Conforms to RFCs 2328, 1587, and 2370

• Interoperable with Fusion RIP/RIP2, including configurable route "leaking" between RIP and OSPF domains, as well as configurable leaking of static and local routes

• High-performance routing via Fusion's integrated forwarding engine

• Runs with or without a real-time OS

• Comprehensive, easy-to-use API for run-time configuration

• Comprehensive monitoring API to facilitate troubleshooting routing problems in a large hierarchical OSPF domain

• Full support for configuring all operational aspects of OSPF over point-to-point links and broadcast LANs per Appendix C of RFC 2328

• Cryptographic (MD5) & plain-text authentication configurable per interface

• Compile time switches for controlling memory utilization (maximum size of link state database, etc.) and CPU fairness (time between SPF runs)

• Like all Fusion protocol products, Fusion OSPF is 100% portable C code

• Royalty-free source code license
