You might be referring to RFC 2178 OSPFv2. Actually, RFC 1247 which first
introduce OSPFv2 was introduced in 1991.
"The ARPANET used one of the first distance vector routing protocols, which
evolved into RIP, which is still in use today. Serious limitations and
problems were encountered with RIP as networks grew. This caused a demand
for a new protocol that could run within the autonomous system (AS) and had
the capability to grow (scale) to a large-sized network comprised of many
routers and Network links.
Into this gap stepped OSPF version 1, published as RFC 1131 in Oct. 1989 by
John T. Moy and the OSPF Working Group."
So, OSPF was introduced 8 years before 1997.
