        URL:        http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5301.txt

RFC 2763 defined a simple and dynamic mechanism for routers running
IS-IS to learn about symbolic hostnames.  RFC 2763 defined a new TLV
that allows the IS-IS routers to flood their name-to-systemID
mapping information across the IS-IS network.

This document obsoletes RFC 2763.  This document moves the capability
provided by RFC 2763 to the Standards Track.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

RFC 5303 on Three-Way Handshake for IS-IS Point-to-Point Adjacencies


A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries.

        
        RFC 5303

        Title:      Three-Way Handshake for IS-IS Point-to-Point

        Author:     D. Katz, R. Saluja,

        URL:        http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5303.txt

The IS-IS routing protocol (Intermediate System to Intermediate
System, ISO 10589) requires reliable protocols at the link layer for
point-to-point links.  As a result, it does not use a three-way
handshake when establishing adjacencies on point-to-point media.
This paper defines a backward-compatible extension to the protocol
that provides for a three-way handshake.  It is fully interoperable
with systems that do not support the extension.

This document describes a mechanism for a restarting router to signal
to its neighbors that it is restarting, allowing them to reestablish
their adjacencies without cycling through the down state, while still
correctly initiating database synchronization.

This document additionally describes a mechanism for a restarting
router to determine when it has achieved Link State Protocol Data
Unit (LSP) database synchronization with its neighbors and a
mechanism to optimize LSP database synchronization, while minimizing
transient routing disruption when a router starts.  This document

using a single intra-domain routing protocol.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

identify the correct circuit type when forming adjacencies,
flooding link state database packets, and representing the circuit
