Abstract
This document defines a new OSPF Router Information (RI) TLV thatallows OSPF routers to flood their hostname-to-Router-ID mappinginformation across an OSPF network to provide a simple and dynamicmechanism for routers running OSPF to learn about symbolic hostnames,just like for routers running IS-IS. This mechanism is applicable toboth OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
