McPherson}, title = {{Dynamic Hostname Exchange Mechanism for OSPF}}, pagetotal = 8, year = 2009, month = aug, abstract = {This document defines a new OSPF Router Information (RI) TLV that allows OSPF routers to flood their hostname-to-Router-ID mapping information across an OSPF network to provide a simple and dynamic mechanism for routers running OSPF to learn about symbolic hostnames, just like for routers running IS-IS. This mechanism is applicable to both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. {[}STANDARDS-TRACK{]}}, }
