IS-IS Minimum Remaining Lifetime
RFC 7987, “IS-IS Minimum Remaining Lifetime”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2016 by L. Ginsberg, P. Wells, B. Decraene, T. Przygienda, H. Gredler. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Corruption of the Remaining Lifetime field in a Link State Protocol Data Unit (LSP) can go undetected. In certain scenarios, this may cause or exacerbate flooding storms. It is also a possible denial-of-service attack vector. This document defines a backwards-compatible solution to this problem.
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.
