Multi-Topology Routing in OSPF
RFC 4915, “Multi-Topology Routing in OSPF”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2007 by P. Psenak, S. Mirtorabi, A. Roy, L. Nguyen, P. Pillay-Esnault. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes an extension to Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) in order to define independent IP topologies called Multi- Topologies (MTs). The Multi-Topologies extension can be used for computing different paths for unicast traffic, multicast traffic, different classes of service based on flexible criteria, or an in- band network management topology.
An optional extension to exclude selected links from the default topology is also described. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
