what is the main features of link state routing protocols?..

Answer / vikramsingh11

Link-state algorithms are also known as Dijkstras algorithm
or as SPF (shortest path first) algorithms.

Link-state routing algorithms maintain a complex database of
topology information.

The distance vector algorithm are also known as Bellman-Ford
algorithms. They have nonspecific information about distant
networks and no knowledge of distant routers.

A link-state routing algorithm maintains full knowledge of
distant routers and how they interconnect. Link-state
routing uses:

Link-state advertisements (LSAs)
A link-state advertisement (LSA) is a small packet of
routing information
that is sent between routers.

Topological database
A topological database is a collection of information
gathered from LSAs.

SPF algorithm
The shortest path first (SPF) algorithm is a calculation
performed on the
database resulting in the SPF tree.

You have OSPF traffic flooding your network via one of your router interfaces. Write the access list line that will deny all ospf traffic. Don't worry about the other lines of the access list.
