OSPF Dead Interval is the time period during which a router waits to receive a Hello packet from a neighbor router before declaring the neighbor router as unreachable and potentially down.
OSPF Dead Interval Definition: OSPF Dead Interval is the time period during which a router waits to receive a Hello packet from a neighbor router before declaring the neighbor router as unreachable and potentially down.
OSPF Dead Interval refers to a timer within the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol that specifies the maximum amount of time a router should wait without receiving a hello packet from a neighboring router before declaring the neighbor as unreachable. This interval helps prevent the inclusion of failed routers in the routing process, thereby maintaining network stability and efficient routing path selection.
