Technical Summary
This document specifies the IS-IS extensions necessary to support
link state routing to any protocols running directly over layer 2.
While supporting this concept involves several pieces, this document
only describes extensions to IS-IS. Furthermore, the TLVs described
in this document are generic layer 2 additions and specific ones as
needed are defined in the IS-IS technology specific extensions.
Working Group Summary
Issues arose as this document, draft-ietf-isis-trill and draft-ietf-isis-ieee-aq
were originally one document. It was felt during review that
draft-ietf-isis-trill and draft-ietf-isis-ieee-aq were sufficiently
different that there needed to be a "base" document (this one)
and two separate technology documents. The opinion of the ISIS
WG it is unfortunate that there could not be one solution for
layer2 routing in ISIS but, this decision was not within the remit
of the ISIS WG.
Document Quality
There are multiple, interoperable implementations.
