SNAPSHOT routing is only meant for Distance vector protocols like RIP. It is kind of a mechanisum to optimize the dialup links usage when you are running RIP kind of protocol across it

How about snap shot routing ???

OSPF deman circuit is OSPF specific how SNAPSHOT Routing is not ??? ( Pls.
correct me if I am wrong !!! As I am stranger to Dial technologies )!!!

Thanks and Regards
Arun
