IS-IS (IPv4)
The Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol is a link-state Interior Gateway
Protocol (IGP) that is based on the International Standard for Organization/International
Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) Open Systems Internet Networking model (OSI). In IS-IS, an
intermediate system (router) is designated as either a Level 1 or Level 2 router. A Level 1 router
routes traffic only within the area in which the router resides. A Level 2 router routes traffic
between areas within a routing domain.
The implementation of IS-IS is based on the following specifications and draft specifications:
•
ISO/IEC 10589 – “Information Technology – Telecommunication and information exchange
between systems – Intermediate system to Intermediate system intra-domain routing
information exchange protocol for use in conjunction with the protocol for providing the
connection less-mode Network Service (ISO 8473)”, 1992
•
ISO/IEC 8473 – “Information processing systems – Data Communications – Protocols for
providing the connectionless-mode network service”, 1988
•
ISO/IEC 9542 – “Information Technology – Telecommunication and information exchange
between systems – End system to Intermediate system intra-domain routing information
exchange protocol for use in conjunction with the protocol for providing the connection
less-mode Network Service (ISO 8473)”, 1988
•
RFC 1195 – “Use of OSI IS-IS for Routing in TCP/IP and Dual Environments”, 1990.
