A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5613 Title: OSPF Link-Local Signaling Author: A. Zinin, A. Roy, L. Nguyen, B. Friedman, D. Yeung Status: Standards Track Date: August 2009 Mailbox: alex.zinin@alcatel-lucent.com, akr@cisco.com, lhnguyen@cisco.com, barryf@google.com, myeung@cisco.com Pages: 12 Characters: 23092 Obsoletes: RFC4813 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ospf-lls-08.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5613.txt OSPF is a link-state intra-domain routing protocol. OSPF routers exchange information on a link using packets that follow a well-defined fixed format. The format is not flexible enough to enable new features that need to exchange arbitrary data. This document describes a backward-compatible technique to perform link-local signaling, i.e., exchange arbitrary data on a link. This document replaces the experimental specification published in RFC 4813 to bring it on the Standards Track. This document is a product of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
