    Description of Working Group:

    IS-IS is an IGP specified and standarized by ISO and incorporating
    extensions to support IP. It has been deployed successfully in the
    Internet for several years years. The IS-IS Working Group is chartered
    to document current protocol implementation practices and
    improvements,
    as well as to propose further extensions to be used within the scope
    of
    IS-IS and IP routing. Short term, the WG is expected to deliver a set
    of
    documents describing common implementation practices and extensions
    necessary to scale the protocol. These specifications will encourage
    multiple, inter-operable vendor implementations.

    This working group will interact with other standards bodies that have
    responsibility for standardizing IS-IS.

    The status of the WG documents maintained by the WG chairs can be
    found
