Zinin and Naiming Shen}, title = {{Point-to-Point Operation over LAN in Link State Routing Protocols}}, pagetotal = 10, year = 2008, month = oct, abstract = {The two predominant circuit types used by link state routing protocols are point-to-point and broadcast. It is important to identify the correct circuit type when forming adjacencies, flooding link state database packets, and representing the circuit topologically. This document describes a simple mechanism to treat the broadcast network as a point-to-point connection from the standpoint of IP routing. This memo provides information for the Internet community.}, }
