Dynamic Hostname Exchange Mechanism for IS-IS
RFC 5301, “Dynamic Hostname Exchange Mechanism for IS-IS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2008 by D. McPherson, N. Shen. It obsoletes RFC 2763. It has since been updated by RFC 6232. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
RFC 2763 defined a simple and dynamic mechanism for routers running IS-IS to learn about symbolic hostnames. RFC 2763 defined a new TLV that allows the IS-IS routers to flood their name-to-systemID mapping information across the IS-IS network.
This document obsoletes RFC 2763. This document moves the capability provided by RFC 2763 to the Standards Track. [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.
