This document describes an extension to the IS-IS protocol to add This document describes an extension to the IS-IS protocol to add
operational capabilities that allow for ease of management and operational capabilities that allow for ease of management and
control over IP prefix distribution within an IS-IS domain. The IS- control over IP prefix distribution within an IS-IS domain.
IS protocol is specified in [1], with extensions for supporting IPv4
specified in [2] and further enhancements for Traffic Engineering [4]
in [3] and [6].
This document enhances the IS-IS protocol by extending the This document enhances the IS-IS protocol by extending the
