Abstract
This document specifies an extension to the OSI Intra-Domain IS-IS Routing Protocol. The extension consists of feeding certain topology information out of the Level 2 subdomain into the areas to allow Level 1 routers to select the best Level 2 router for reaching a particular area in their routing domain. Early simulation studies at PTT Research, The Netherlands show that use of Extended IS-IS with metric feeding results in smaller end-to-end delays and higher throughput at the cost of a slight increase in complexity and convergence time after topology changes. Comments should be sent to 'A.A.L.Reijnierse@research.ptt.nl'.
