RFC 8919: IS-IS Application-Specific Link Attributes

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 9479.

Current version: RFC 9479IS-IS Application-Specific Link Attributes

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

Existing traffic-engineering-related link attribute advertisements have been defined and are used in RSVP-TE deployments. Since the original RSVP-TE use case was defined, additional applications (e.g., Segment Routing Policy and Loop-Free Alternates) that also make use of the link attribute advertisements have been defined. In cases where multiple applications wish to make use of these link attributes, the current advertisements do not support application-specific values for a given attribute, nor do they support indication of which applications are using the advertised value for a given link. This document introduces new link attribute advertisements that address both of these shortcomings.
