Point-to-Point Operation over LAN in Link State Routing Protocols
RFC 5309, “Point-to-Point Operation over LAN in Link State Routing Protocols”, is an Informational document published in October 2008 by N. Shen, A. Zinin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The two predominant circuit types used by link state routing protocols are point-to-point and broadcast. It is important to identify the correct circuit type when forming adjacencies, flooding link state database packets, and representing the circuit topologically. This document describes a simple mechanism to treat the broadcast network as a point-to-point connection from the standpoint of IP routing. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
