Uses OpenShortestPathFirst OSPF algorithm    1. ID of the node that created the LSP
   2. List of directly connected neighbors, cost of link
   3. A sequence number
   4. TTL

OpenShortestPathFirst OSPF is an example protocol

   * LinkState is fast statble and takes a log of space.
   * It is founded upon reliable flooding.

  • Who: Send to all nodes
  • What: Send Link state packet (LSP) about direct connected links
  • When: Periodically or when a change occurs (triggered)
  • How: Reliable flooding

The point is that Local information is distributed globally.
