Abstract

   This document describes implementation codepoints within Intermediate
   System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) used today by several ISPs for
   routing within their clouds.  IS-IS is an interior gateway routing
   protocol developed originally by OSI and used with IP extensions as
   Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP).  This document summarizes all Table,
   Length and Value (TLV) codepoints that are being used by the protocol
   and its pending extensions.

2. Assignment Procedures

   This document is provided to avoid possible future conflicts in the
   assignment of TLV numbers.  It does not constitute or represent any
   standard or authority assigning TLV numbers.  TLV assignment happens
   on a shared, informational basis between the ISO, SIF and the IETF
   working groups.  The core ISIS protocol is being specified in the ISO
   standards body, IP extensions to it however are products of the ISIS
   working group in IETF.  Since ISO does not provide a numbering
   authority and IANA is only responsible for IP related coding points,
   no plausible central authority to assign TLV numbers exists as of
   today.

   This document will be periodically updated by newer versions in the
   fashion of [RP94] and successors.  It may be replaced at any given
   point in time by some type of official registry.

   This document will not indicate specific documents using the
   codepoints, nor will it resolve the sub-TLV codepoints.
