A Policy Control Mechanism in IS-IS Using Administrative Tags

Overview

RFC 5130, “A Policy Control Mechanism in IS-IS Using Administrative Tags”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2008 by S. Previdi, M. Shand, C. Martin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes an extension to the IS-IS protocol to add operational capabilities that allow for ease of management and control over IP prefix distribution within an IS-IS domain. This document enhances the IS-IS protocol by extending the information that an Intermediate System (IS) router can place in Link State Protocol (LSP) Data Units for policy use. This extension will provide operators with a mechanism to control IP prefix distribution throughout multi-level IS-IS domains. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
