The IESG has received a request from the IS-IS for IP Internets WG (isis) to consider the following document: - 'IS-IS Multi-Instance' <draft-ietf-isis-mi-06.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-09-04. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This draft describes a mechanism that allows a single router to share one or more circuits among multiple Intermediate System To Intermediate System (IS-IS) routing protocol instances. Multiple instances allow the isolation of resources associated with each instance. Routers will form instance specific adjacencies. Each instance can support multiple topologies. Each topology has a unique Link State Database (LSDB). Each Protocol Data Unit (PDU) will contain a new Type Length Value (TLV) identifying the instance and the topology(ies) to which the PDU belongs. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-mi/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-mi/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
