IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering
RFC 5305, “IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2008 by T. Li, H. Smit. It obsoletes RFC 3784. It has since been updated by RFC 5307, RFC 8918. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes extensions to the Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol to support Traffic Engineering (TE). This document extends the IS-IS protocol by specifying new information that an Intermediate System (router) can place in Link State Protocol Data Units (LSP). This information describes additional details regarding the state of the network that are useful for traffic engineering computations. [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.
