OSPF belongs to which class of routing protocols that use the state of links as their primary metric?
- Distance Vector
- Hybrid
- Link-State
- Path Vector
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) belongs to the Link-State class of routing protocols. In Link-State routing, routers exchange information about the state of their links, and each router builds a database that contains a complete map of the network's topology. This information is used to calculate the shortest path.
