Advertising Node Administrative Tags in IS-IS

Overview

RFC 7917, “Advertising Node Administrative Tags in IS-IS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2016 by P. Sarkar, H. Gredler, S. Hegde, S. Litkowski, B. Decraene. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes an extension to the IS-IS routing protocol to advertise node administrative tags. This optional capability allows tagging and grouping of the nodes in an IS-IS domain. The node administrative tags can be used to express and apply locally defined network policies, thereby providing a very useful operational capability. Node administrative tags may be used by either IS-IS itself or other applications consuming information propagated via IS-IS.
