Re: RFC 5306 on Restart Signaling for IS-IS

Hi all,

The new RFC 5306 obsoletes the existing one for ISIS GR (3847). But this new RFC does not includes any update or modification or correction over the existing one. I am wondering why this new RFC was introduced obsoleting the old one. Can anybody please let me know the reason behind it.

Thanks,
Sumanta

Re: RFC 5306 on Restart Signaling for IS-IS

It is purely procedural. The old one was "informational", whereas the 
new one is "standards track". Since the IS-IS protocol is technically 
"owned" by ISO, any IETF work on IS-IS could only be informational. 
However, following an agreement with ISO, IP related IS-IS work can now 
become standards track. Hence the change of status, which required the 
issuance of a new RFC.

Similar changes have been made to other IS-IS RFCs.
