RFC 2178: OSPF Version 2
At over 211 pages, this RFC is a document that explains the smallest and most detailed internal workings of the OSPF protocol. Armed with this document, you could program the code necessary for OSPF to operate on any type of network equipment it supports. The RFC also takes you through every step of its operation to include those that are not apparent to the user. However, this RFC was made obsolete by RFC 2328, which is discussed in more detail.
