OSPF Summarization
OSPF Summarization:
Advantages of Summarization:
• Saves Memory -Routing tables will be smaller which reduces memory requirements.
• Saves Bandwidth -There are less routes to advertise so we save some bandwidth.
• Saves CPU Cycles - Less packets to process and smaller routing tables to work on.
• Stability -Prevents routing table instability due to flapping networks.
