OSPF routers refresh and flood LSAs in the Link-State Database (LSDB) every 30 minutes by default to maintain topology consistency. OSPF does not rely on TCP; it uses its own acknowledgment mechanism. It also uses the Dijkstra algorithm, not Bellman-Ford. The flooding interval for LSU packets is shorter, typically 5 seconds .
