IS-IS Route Preference for Extended IP and IPv6 Reachability
Abstract
In existing specifications, the route preferences for IPv4/IPv6
Extended Reachability TLVs are not explicitly stated. There are also
inconsistencies in the definition of how the up/down bit applies to
route preference when the prefix advertisement appears in Level 2
Link State Protocol Data Units (LSPs). This document addresses these
issues.
This document updates RFC 5308.

RFC 7775 IS-IS Route Preference February 2016
1. Introduction
[RFC5302] defines the route preference rules as they apply to TLVs
128 and 130. [RFC5305] introduced the IP Extended Reachability TLV
135 but did not explicitly adapt the route preference rules defined
in [RFC5302] for the new TLV. [RFC5308] defines the IPv6
Reachability TLV 236 and does include an explicit statement regarding
route preference -- but the statement introduces use of the up/down
