RFC 6822: IS-IS Multi-Instance

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 8202.

Current version: RFC 8202 — IS-IS Multi-Instance

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

This document describes a mechanism that allows a single router to share one or more circuits among multiple Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) routing protocol instances. Multiple instances allow the isolation of resources associated with each instance. Routers will form instance-specific adjacencies. Each instance can support multiple topologies. Each topology has a unique Link State Database (LSDB). Each Protocol Data Unit (PDU) will contain a new Type-Length-Value (TLV) identifying the instance and the topology (or topologies) to which the PDU belongs.
