Tuning and optimizing OSPF networks

You can optimize your OSPF network in the following ways:

• Change OSPF packet timers to adjust the OSPF network convergence speed and network load. On low-speed links, consider the delay time for sending LSAs.

• Change the SPF calculation interval to reduce resource consumption caused by frequent network changes.

• Configure OSPF authentication to improve security.

• Configure OSPF network management functions, such as binding OSPF MIB with a process, sending trap information, and collecting log information.
