IS-IS Traffic Engineering (TE) Metric Extensions
Abstract
In certain networks, such as, but not limited to, financial
information networks (e.g., stock market data providers), network-
performance criteria (e.g., latency) are becoming as critical to
data-path selection as other metrics.
This document describes extensions to IS-IS Traffic Engineering
Extensions (RFC 5305). These extensions provide a way to distribute
and collect network-performance information in a scalable fashion.
The information distributed using IS-IS TE Metric Extensions can then
be used to make path-selection decisions based on network
performance.
Note that this document only covers the mechanisms with which
network-performance information is distributed. The mechanisms for
measuring network performance or acting on that information, once
distributed, are outside the scope of this document.
This document obsoletes RFC 7810.
