The SSF.OS.OSPFv2 Package
The SSF.OS.OSPFv2 package is currently under development at the
Computer Networking Group at Saarland University.
It is still in an early development stage but important features are already implemented.
SSF.OS.OSPFv2 supports the hello protocol, database exchange, reliable flooding
and routing table calculation. At the moment, only router-LSAs are implemented, but the
other LSA types are planned to follow soon. The only network type available at the moment
are point-to-point networks. This is sufficient, because most OSPF routers belong to the
backbone of an AS, where point to point links are the most important link type. Nevertheless,
the other network types will also be available in the future. In addition, features like
virtual links and authentication are not yet available. These are not necessary for the
general functionality of OSPF and will therefore be implemented later.
For further information about the OSPFv2 package, see the documentation shipped with that
package. The current version of the OSPFv2 package is available for download at
