Abstract

OSPF is a link-state intra-domain routing protocol. OSPF routersexchange information on a link using packets that follow awell-defined fixed format. The format is not flexible enough toenable new features that need to exchange arbitrary data. Thisdocument describes a backward-compatible technique to performlink-local signaling, i.e., exchange arbitrary data on a link. Thisdocument replaces the experimental specification published in RFC 4813to bring it on the Standards Track.
