RFC 5306: Restart Signaling for IS-IS

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 8706.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 8706 — Restart Signaling for IS-IS

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

This document describes a mechanism for a restarting router to signal to its neighbors that it is restarting, allowing them to reestablish their adjacencies without cycling through the down state, while still correctly initiating database synchronization. This document additionally describes a mechanism for a restarting router to determine when it has achieved Link State Protocol Data Unit (LSP) database synchronization with its neighbors and a mechanism to optimize LSP database synchronization, while minimizing transient routing disruption when a router starts. This document obsoletes RFC 3847. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
