Abstract
This document contains the text of the agreement signed between
ISOC/IETF and ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 regarding cooperative development of
the IS-IS routing protocol. The agreement includes definitions of
the related work scopes for the two organizations, request for
creation and maintenance of an IS-IS registry by IANA, as well as
collaboration guidelines.
Document Header
Annexe 1 to Cooperative Agreement Between the Internet Society and
the International Organization for Standardization / International
Electrotechnical Commission / Joint Technical Committee 1 / Sub
Committee 6 (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6): IS-IS Routing Protocols
Date: 2003-01-28
This annexe records the agreed collaborative process for the further
development and standardisation of the Intermediate System to
Intermediate System (IS-IS) intra-domain routing protocol (ISO/IEC
10589).
1. Introduction
The IS-IS intra-domain routing protocols, originally developed in
ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC6, have been successfully deployed in the Internet for
several years.

RFC 3563 IETF - JTC1 Agreement on IS-IS July 2003
ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC6 is the JTC1 sub-committee which has responsibility
for maintenance of the IS-IS standard (ISO/IEC 10589).
The IS-IS Working Group of the IETF is chartered to develop
extensions to the IS-IS protocol to be used within the scope of the
Internet.
This addendum documents the agreed process for the future development
of IS-IS by both organizations.
2. Definitions
2.1 Core IS-IS Mechanisms
Core IS-IS Mechanisms are subsystems with associated algorithms, data
structures, and PDU formats as specified in (ISO/IEC 10589),
constituting the core of the IS-IS protocol and including the
following elements:
a) Framework of PDU formats, including TLVs defined in [10589]
b) Encapsulation of PDUs
c) Adjacency state machine and formation logic
d) DIS election algorithm
e) Initial LSP synchronization via CSNP exchange
f) Asynchronous LSP flooding (including DIS flooding behavior)
g) LSP database maintenance including LSP origination, aging, and
purging
h) Topology abstraction defined in [10589]
2.2 Internet-specific IS-IS Extensions:
Internet-specific IS-IS Extensions are extensions to the IS-IS
protocol that are within the work scope of the IETF including any
routing or packet forwarding technology that the IETF decides to work
on in the future (such as IPv4 or IPv6 unicast and multicast routing,
MPLS, MPLS Traffic Engineering, or Generalized MPLS), and:
a) do not modify the Core IS-IS Mechanisms and do not change
operation of non-IP or affect compatibility with non-IP and dual
implementations of IS-IS, or

RFC 3563 IETF - JTC1 Agreement on IS-IS July 2003
b) add supplementary mechanisms to the Core IS-IS Mechanisms, are not
generally applicable to non-IP implementations of IS-IS, and do
not change operation of non-IP or affect compatibility with non-IP
and dual implementations of IS-IS, or
c) are de facto implementation agreements that are not generally
applicable to non-IP implementations of IS-IS.
Note that the introduction of new TLVs or sub-TLVs that do not modify
the algorithms of the Core Mechanisms in a way that would affect
interoperability with non-IP or dual implementations of IS-IS is not
considered to be a modification to the Core IS-IS Mechanisms.
