Extending the Number of Intermediate System to Intermediate System Link State PDU Fragments Beyond the 256 Limit
RFC 3786, “Extending the Number of Intermediate System to Intermediate System Link State PDU Fragments Beyond the 256 Limit”, is an Informational document published in May 2004 by A. Hermelin, S. Previdi, M. Shand. It has been obsoleted by RFC 5311 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a mechanism that allows a system to originate more than 256 Link State PDU (LSP) fragments, a limit set by the original Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) Routing protocol, as described in ISO/IEC 10589. This mechanism can be used in IP-only, OSI-only, and dual routers. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
