Routing IPv6 with IS-IS

Overview

RFC 5308, “Routing IPv6 with IS-IS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2008 by C. Hopps. It has since been updated by RFC 7775. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies a method for exchanging IPv6 routing information using the IS-IS routing protocol. The described method utilizes two new TLVs: a reachability TLV and an interface address TLV to distribute the necessary IPv6 information throughout a routing domain. Using this method, one can route IPv6 along with IPv4 and OSI using a single intra-domain routing protocol. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

What “Proposed Standard” means
