Reading and Understanding the OSPF Database
I found this terrific explanation of how to interpret the OSPF database on Cisco support forums and I wanted to share it. It really clarifies how LSAs are used to build a full topology of the network. This guy goes into the detail of readying the LSDB and using to to draw a picture of the network. Amazing stuff. This has really helped with my understanding of OSPF, it has taken a relatively abstract topic and made it real and meaningful.
I hope someone gets as much out of this as I did.
