RFC 7794 IS-IS Prefix Attributes March 2016
1. Introduction
IS-IS is a link-state routing protocol defined in [ISO10589] and
[RFC1195]. Extensions in support of advertising new forms of
IPv4/IPv6 prefix reachability are defined in [RFC5305], [RFC5308],
and [RFC5120].
There are existing use cases in which knowing additional attributes
of a prefix is useful.
It is useful to know whether or not an advertised prefix is directly
connected to the advertising router. In the case of Segment Routing
as described in [SR], knowing whether or not a prefix is directly
connected determines what action should be taken as regards
processing of labels associated with an incoming packet.
It is useful to know what addresses can be used as addresses of the
node in support of services (e.g., Remote Loop Free Alternate (RLFA)
endpoint).
Current formats of the Extended Reachability TLVs for both IPv4 and
IPv6 are fixed and do not allow the introduction of additional flags
without backwards compatibility issues. Therefore, this document
defines a new sub-TLV that supports the advertisement of attribute
flags associated with prefix advertisements.
In cases where multiple node addresses are advertised by a given
router, it is also useful to be able to associate all of these
addresses with a single Router ID even when prefixes are advertised
