Understanding the Shortest Path First (SPF) Algorithm LiveLessons—Networking Talks is the primer you need to truly understand SPF calculations. It’s time to really understand how Link State protocols work and why some of the rules you encounter with this family of protocols exists.

Description

Understanding the Shortest Path First (SPF) Algorithm LiveLessons—Networking Talks explains basic SPF calculation through a combination of bullet points and whiteboard demonstrations. The lessons also demonstrate how SPF takes into account Equal-Cost MultiPath (ECMP) and multi-access links such as Ethernet. By understanding SPF calculations, engineers can better understand and troubleshoot Link State protocols.
