OSPF Link-Local Signaling
RFC 5613, “OSPF Link-Local Signaling”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2009 by A. Zinin, A. Roy, L. Nguyen, B. Friedman, D. Yeung. It obsoletes RFC 4813. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
OSPF is a link-state intra-domain routing protocol. OSPF routers exchange information on a link using packets that follow a well-defined fixed format. The format is not flexible enough to enable new features that need to exchange arbitrary data. This document describes a backward-compatible technique to perform link-local signaling, i.e., exchange arbitrary data on a link. This document replaces the experimental specification published in RFC 4813 to bring it on the 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.
