RFC 5301: Dynamic Hostname Exchange Mechanism for IS-IS

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 6232. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

RFC 2763 defined a simple and dynamic mechanism for routers running IS-IS to learn about symbolic hostnames. RFC 2763 defined a new TLV that allows the IS-IS routers to flood their name-to-systemID mapping information across the IS-IS network. This document obsoletes RFC 2763. This document moves the capability provided by RFC 2763 to the Standards Track. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
