Explanation:
OSPFv2
Is built around links, and any IP prefix change in an area will trigger a full SPF. It advertises IP
information in Router and Network LSAs. The routers thus, advertise both the IP prefix information
(or the connected subnet information) and topology information in the same LSAs. This implies
that if an IP address attached to an interface changes, OSPF routers would have to originate a
Router LSA or a Network LSA, which btw also carries the topology information. This would trigger
a full SPF on all routers in that area, since the same LSAs are flooded to convey topological
change information. This can be an issue with an access router or the one sitting at the edge,
since many stub links can change regularly.
Only changes in interarea, external and NSSA routes result in partial SPF calculation (since type
3, 4, 5 and 7 LSAs only advertise IP prefix information) and thus IS-IS’s PRC is more pervasive
than OSPF’s partial SPF.
This difference allows IS-IS to be more tolerant of larger single area domains whereas OSPF
forces hierarchical designs for relatively smaller networks. However with the route leaking from L2
to L1 incorporated into IS-IS the apparent motivation for keeping large single area domains too
goes away.
SPF is calculated in three phases. The first is the calculation of intra-area routes by building the
shortest path tree for each attached area. The second phase calculates the inter-area routes by
examining the summary LSAs and the last one examines the AS-External-LSAs to calculate the
routes to the external destinations.http://routingfreak.wordpress.com/2008/03/04/shortest-path-first-calculation-in-ospf-and-is-is/
