Course Overview
This course provides a solid foundation in link-state routing protocols, focusing on both OSPF and IS-IS from a technical and design perspective.
You’ll start with the core principles of link-state operation — Dijkstra and SPF computation and Convergence with link-state protocols. Then, you’ll dive into protocol-specific details
Several essential fundamentals of both OSPF and IS-IS are covered, including how they form adjacencies, exchange routing information.
You’ll gain a clear understanding of how each protocol handles flooding, topology changes, and route selection — critical knowledge for real-world design and troubleshooting.
Taught by network architect Russ White, this course is ideal for engineers preparing for advanced certifications or needing a clear, real-world understanding of how link-state protocols behave in production networks.
