OSPF uses cost as its routing metric .

cost is calculated for every outgoing interface of a router through which packets transfer.

it is calculated by the formula

cost = 100000000/(bandwidth of output interface)

most likely bandwidth of serial int is 1544kb= 1544000 bytes

PS: all cost calculation to be done in bytes for ease

Is OSPF a classful or classless link-state routing protocol?

OSPF is a classless link-state routing protocol. RIP version 1 and IGRP are both classful distance vector routing protocols, EIGRP is a hybrid protocol that supports classless addressing.


What two metrics are used by EIGRPs routing algorithm to calculate route metrics?

Delay and bandwidth


What is OSPF adjacencies?

OSPF is a link-state routing protocol that helps Routers exchange IP routes. OSPF Adjacencies is the established "neighborship" between two OSPF routers in order to make the exchange of routes. In this case, Adjacency means the same as "peering", that the OSPF speakers (routers) are able to "talk" to each other.
