OSPF uses the SPF algorithm. The information contained in a router’s OSPF link state database is the “MAP” that is used to calculate the best path to a remote network. However, unlike EIGRP, OSPF does not keep backup paths to routes, rather, when a route to a network goes down, the SPF algorithm is run again to determine a backup or alternate path.
Keep in mind no backup link.. if there are any dual active paths to any destination with same metric then load balancing will work (default up to 4 Path).
