Abstract:
In networks with routers of different capabilities, some routers may
not be able to participate fully in supporting new features or
handling large databases and the associated flooding. In some cases,
these restrictions can cause severe scalability issues for the
network in general. This document proposes virtual multi-instances,
a generic mechanism for OSPF and IS-IS, that allows groups of routers
in specific topologies to have a reduced database and reduces the
topology changes that are seen. The virtual multi-instances are
specified so that no software or protocol changes are required in the
restricted routers. Due to the potential number of virtual multi-
instances in a network, the configuration is limited and is not
specified per virtual instance.
