Area Proxy for IS-IS
draft-li-lsr-isis-area-proxy-04
Abstract
Link state routing protocols have hierarchical abstraction already
built into them. However, when lower levels are used for transit,
they must expose their internal topologies to each other, leading to
scale issues.
To avoid this, this document discusses extensions to the IS-IS
routing protocol that would allow level 1 areas to provide transit,
yet only inject an abstraction of the level 1 topology into level 2.
Each level 1 area is represented as a single level 2 node, thereby
enabling greater scale.
