NOTE:
On IS-IS broadcast networks, all routers are adjacent with each other. However, the DIS is responsible for
the synchronization of their LSDBs.
IS-IS PDU format
PDU header format
IS-IS packets are encapsulated into link layer frames. The Protocol Data Unit (PDU) consists of two parts,
the headers and the variable length fields. The headers comprise the PDU common header and the PDU
specific header. All PDUs have the same PDU common header. The specific headers vary by PDU type.
