Hello messages are sent periodically on all interfaces in order to establish and maintain neighbor relationships. The ospf protocol is based on linkstate technology, which is a departure from the bellmanford vector based algorithms used in traditional internet routing protocols such as rip. When several systems or routers that run ospf have interfaces attached to a common network, the hello protocol determines the designated router dr. The following shows the ospf packet header, the various different packet types that we will discuss in the next section put their various fields and values into the message body part of the packet. If such a router sends a hello packet on an interface, its neighbors are going to reset the. The capture records the adjacency formed between routers 2 and 3.
