OSPF area 0 is at the center of an OSPF domain and all other areas are connected to it. These OSPF areas are numbered and each may have several OSPF routers in it. OSPF divides its routing domain into smaller sub-divisions called areas. This is in contrast to Enhanced Interior Gateway Protocol (EIGRP) that is Cisco proprietary, and hence available only on Cisco routers. OSPF is standards-based which means it is available on routers by Cisco as well as other vendors, making it a vendor-neutral routing protocol. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a routing protocol developed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
