5.11 Configuring OSPF IP FRR
With OSPF IP FRR, devices can rapidly switch traffic from faulty links to backup links without
interrupting traffic. This protects traffic and greatly improves the reliability of OSPF networks.
5.11.1 Before You Start
Before configuring OSPF IP FRR, familiarize yourself with the usage scenario, complete the
pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the configuration.
Applicable Environment
With the development of networks, Voice over IP (VoIP) and on-line video services require
high-quality real-time transmission. Nevertheless, if an OSPF fault occurs, traffic can be
switched to a new link only after the following processes: fault detection at the millisecond level,
notifying the fault to the routing control plane at the millisecond level, generating and flooding
new topology information at the tens of milliseconds level, triggering SPF calculation at the tens
of milliseconds level, and notifying and installing a new route at the hundreds-of-milliseconds
level. As a result, it takes much more than 50 ms to recovery the link from the fault, which cannot
meet the requirement for real-time services on the network.
With OSPF IP FRR that calculates a backup link in advance, devices can fast switch traffic to
the backup link without interrupting traffic when the primary link becomes faulty. This protects
traffic and therefore greatly improves the reliability of OSPF networks.
OSPF IP FRR is applicable to the services that are sensitive to packet delay and packet loss.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring OSPF IP FRR, complete the following tasks:
l
Configuring IP addresses for interfaces to ensure that neighboring routers are reachable at
the network layer
l
Configuring Basic OSPF Functions
Data Preparation
To configure OSPF IP FRR, you need the following data.
No.
