Integrated IS- IS can now also be used to route IPv6 {[}12{]}. RFC 1195 {[}1{]} places certain topological restrictions on networks that are routed using Integrated IS-IS, specifically that every Intermediate System in a level-1 area must be able to forward all network layer protocols that are present in that area, and that every level-2 Intermediate System must be able to forward all network layer protocols present in the routing domain. The mechanism described in this document enables an Intermediate System or a group of Intermediate Systems that do not support a particular network layer protocol to be used in a level-1 area or level-2 subdomain where that network layer protocol is present. Specifically the mechanism provides automatic encapsulation and unencapsulation so that a packet or PDU may pass through an Intermediate System that would not normally be able to forward that type of packet.}, }
