ABSTRACT
In this paper we examine the use of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol for use within the future Airborne Network. OSPF is one of the standards-based routing protocols that could be used within the Airborne Network. However, given the fading characteristics of airborne line-of-sight (LOS) channels, OSPF may not be as effective as it is in the commercial terrestrial Internet. Therefore, some modification of OSPF timer settings, most notably the "Hello" protocol timers, may be necessary to enable OSPF to be useful for airborne networking.
