Hello PDU

Hello packets are used by routers to establish and maintain neighbor relationships. A hello packet is also

an IS-to-IS hello PDU (IIH). For broadcast networks, the Level-1 routers use the Level-1 LAN IIHs; and the

Level-2 routers use the Level-2 LAN IIHs. The P2P IIHs are used on point-to-point networks.

Figure 55

illustrates the hello packet format in broadcast networks, where the blue fields are the common

header.
