OSPF
----

Young man, are you tired of rip?
I said, young man, too much output on sh ip?
I said, young man, there's no reason to flip
We've got the algorhythm for you.

Young man, there's a solution in sight
I said, young man, come into the light
This protocol's fun. (well, more or less)
If all else fails, you can always just guess.

Route your network with O-S-P-F
Route your network with O-S-P-F

It has everything you want in a toy
Just ask any networker, a girl or a boy.

Route your network with O-S-P-F
Route your network with O-S-P-F

Young man, don't just fantasize
I said, young man, you can now summarize
I said, young man, just open your eyes
Best of all, it's not too painful

Protocols that know your AS
I said, young man, they take care of the mess
So just use it: route with OSPF
I'm sure you'll be much happier.

Route your network with O-S-P-F
Route your network with O-S-P-F

Young man, are your tables to full?
I said, young man, are you tired of RIP's bull?
The solution is called OSPF.
You'll never go back to anything less.

On Ciscos, it runs like a dream.
Bay Networks, they all think it's a scream.
And someday, before the Universe ends...
Oh yes, someday, it'll work on Ascends.

Route your network with O-S-P-F
Route your network with O-S-P-F

O-S-P-F, route your network with O-S-P-F

Young man, are you tired of rip?
I said, young man, too much output on sh ip?

O-S-P-F, route your network with O-S-P-F

Young man, are you tired of rip?
I said, young man, too much output on sh ip?

O-S-P-F, route your network with O-S-P-F
