RFC 3786: Extending the Number of Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) Link State PDU (LSP) Fragments Beyond the 256 Limit
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 5311.
Current version: RFC 5311 — Simplified Extension of Link State PDU (LSP) Space for IS-IS
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
This document describes a mechanism that allows a system to originate more than 256 Link State PDU (LSP) fragments, a limit set by the original Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) Routing protocol, as described in ISO/IEC 10589. This mechanism can be used in IP-only, OSI-only, and dual routers. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
