I’m currently putting together a OSPF monitoring script/thingy. Basically it pulls all information from the Link State Advertisement DB and puts together a model of our OSPF network. This is early stages at the moment.
Also found some older threads on the same topic in the mean time, which I’m linking here for reference:
Hi All,
We are currently testing the usage of ospf costing.
What this would mean is that the link speeds would be utilized a lot better.
Were looking in to autamating it where it looks at the quality of a link in a spicific interval and then setting the cost of ospf accordingly
Ive done this in Brackenfell so far and its made a major difference in speed and lattency.
Will keep you updated on the progress.
I have been thinking for a long time now that our OSPF Costing method needs to be looked at for a couple of reasons. I’m starting this thread so that we can discuss various options and then agree on if it should be kept as is or if we adopt one of the other methods that’s listed here. I know from discussions with other members that there are other ideas out there so please list them if you feel they are a viable solution on the network.
Here’s my theory:
With the advent of Dual Polarity links …
Hi All
I Have a few questions that anyone could elaborate on and tell me if im wrong.
I have gone through a few rb’s after getting info from tracerts and picked up that there are some rb’s where the costing of the backbone links has changed.
Now my understanding is that on the wug OSPF costing for bb links are 10 and ether links between rb’s are 1.
With the changes of costing I have seen that tracing from point A to B gives 5 hops but tracing from point B to A I get 13 hops is this because o…
