This chapter covers the following content:
OSPFv3 Fundamentals: This section provides an overview of the OSPFv3
routing protocol and the similarities to OSPFv2.

, OSPFv3 Fundamentals
• OSPFv3 supports IPv4 and IPv6 address families.
• New LSA types have been created to carry IPv6 prefixes.
• The IP prefix information is carried as LSA payload information, making the
protocol essentially address family independent.
• Includes a new link-state type field that is used to determine the flooding
scope of LSA, as well as the handling of unknown LSA types.
• OSPFv3 runs directly over IPv6, and the number of fields in the packet
header has been reduced.
