The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Three-Way Handshake for Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) Point-to-Point Adjacencies ' <draft-ietf-isis-rfc3373bis-01.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the IS-IS for IP Internets Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ross Callon and David Ward. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-isis-rfc3373bis-01.txt Technical Summary The IS-IS routing protocol (Intermediate System to Intermediate System, ISO 10589) requires reliable protocols at the link layer for point-to-point links. As a result, it does not use a three-way handshake when establishing adjacencies on point-to- point media. This paper defines a backward-compatible extension to the protocol that provides for a three-way handshake. It is fully interoperable with systems that do not support the extension. Additionally, the extension allows the robust operation of more than 256 point-to-point links on a single router. Working Group Summary This is part of a series of seven documents that were originally published as informational for historic reasons, but are now being updated to proposed standard status. There is broad consensus in the WG for this upgrade in status. Document Quality This extension has been implemented by multiple router vendors and widely deployed. This specification is provided to the Internet community in order to allow interoperable implementations to be built by other vendors. Personnel Chris Hopps and Dave Ward have been jointly shepherding this series of seven documents. Ross Callon is the responsible AD. RFC Editor Note Please replace the existing informational reference to RFC3567 with a informative reference to draft-ietf-isis-rfc3567bis. The reference to [rfc3567] in section 5 (security considerations) should be changed to a reference to draft-ietf-isis-rfc3567bis (or to whatever RFC this turns into). Also, please hold publication of this document until draft-ietf-isis-rfc3567bis is published, so that we can reference the RFC, rather than the Internet draft. Also note that we expect approval of draft-ietf-isis-rfc3567bis within a few days of the approval of this draft. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
