Abstract

This document specifies the Intermediate System to IntermediateSystem (IS-IS) extensions necessary to support link state routing forany protocols running directly over Layer-2. While supporting thisconcept involves several pieces, this document only describesextensions to IS-IS. Furthermore, the Type, Length, Value pairs(TLVs) described in this document are generic Layer-2 additions, andspecific ones as needed are defined in the IS-IS technology-specificextensions. We leave it to the systems using these IS-IS extensionsto explain how the information carried in IS-IS is used. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
