Abstract

This document describes necessary extensions to IS-IS to support the distributed computation of Maximally Redundant Trees (MRT). Some example uses of the MRTs include IP/LDP Fast-Reroute and global protection or live-live for multicast traffic. The extensions indicate what MRT profile(s) each router supports. Different MRT profiles can be defined to support different uses and to allow transition of capabilities. An extension is introduced to flood MRT- Ineligible links, due to administrative policy.
