Abstract

The IS-IS routing protocol uses TLV (Type-Length-Value) encoding in a variety of protocol messages. The original IS-IS TLV definition allows only for 255 octets of value in maximum. MP-TLV [I-D.ietf-lsr-multi-tlv] gives one proposal trying to solve this issue, but has some unsolved challenges for its implementations and deployment. This document analyzes in detail these challenges and proposes the community to find other better solution.
