Which statement does NOT accurately describe characteristics of the OSPF protocol?

B) OSPF has no hop limits on a transmission path.
C) OSPF provides low network overhead.
D) OSPF requires very little CPU or memory resources.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is known for maintaining a comprehensive database of other routers' links (Link-State Database) and having no hop limit, which differentiates it from distance-vector protocols like RIP. However, OSPF can be resource-intensive, requiring significant CPU and memory resources for its complex calculations and large link-state database, especially in large or complex networks. This makes statement D incorrect as it suggests OSPF requires very little in terms of resources, which is not accurate.
