Intermediate System to Intermediate System Transient Blackhole Avoidance

Overview

RFC 3277, “Intermediate System to Intermediate System Transient Blackhole Avoidance”, is an Informational document published in April 2002 by D. McPherson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes a simple, interoperable mechanism that can be employed in Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) networks in order to decrease the data loss associated with deterministic blackholing of packets during transient network conditions. The mechanism proposed here requires no IS-IS protocol changes and is completely interoperable with the existing IS-IS specification. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
