The Designated Router is chosen from the list of eligible routers. If a one or more routers have 
declared itself to be the DR in their Hello packets, the one with the highest Router Priority 
becomes the DR. If no routers have declared themselves to be DR, then the router with the highest 
priority becomes DR.
Backup Designated Router
Backup Designated Routers (BDR) are used for each multi-access network. The BDR is adjacent 
to all routers on the network and becomes the Designated Router if the existing Designated Router 
fails. The BDR does not generate network link advertisements and is also elected by the Hello 
Protocol.
The Backup Designated Router is chosen from those routers who have not declared themselves to 
be the Designated Router. If a one or more routers have declared itself to be the BDR in their Hello 
packets, the one with the highest Router Priority becomes the BDR. If no routers have declared 
themselves to be BDR, then the router with the highest priority becomes BDR. 
Detailed information on the OSPF protocol is documented in RFC 1247.
HDSL
High-bit rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) technology uses existing copper twisted pair cables 
designed for conventional analog voice transmission from a telephone carrier servicing area as a 
low-cost alternative to the quality and speed of fiber optic cables, and provides high-speed 
full-duplex digital transmission links of up to 1.544 Mbps. The WPIM-HDSL is easy to install in 
your network over existing telephone lines, and it is a portable investment if a business, or 
individual user plans to relocate. 
HDSL is a direct connection technology that allows connections to be made for distances of up to 
12,000 feet over 24 American Wire Gauge (AWG) unconditioned Twisted Pair wire. To obtain the 
Full T1 line Rate of 1.544 Mbps, two wire pairs are necessary (four wires). If one pair of wires is 
used (two wires), then data rates of 772 Kbps are supported, which is equivalent to one-half of a 
T1 line.
