OSPF Link-Local Signaling
RFC 4813, “OSPF Link-Local Signaling”, is an Experimental document published in March 2007 by B. Friedman, L. Nguyen, A. Roy, D. Yeung, A. Zinin. It has been obsoleted by RFC 5613 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
OSPF is a link-state intra-domain routing protocol used in IP networks. OSPF routers exchange information on a link using packets that follow a well-defined format. The format of OSPF packets is not flexible enough to enable applications to exchange arbitrary data, which may be necessary in certain situations. This memo describes a vendor-specific, backward-compatible technique to perform link-local signaling, i.e., exchange arbitrary data on a link. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
