IntermediateSystem to Intermediate System (IS-IS, also written ISIS) is a routing protocol designed to move information efficiently within a computer network, a group of physically connected computers or similar devices. It accomplishes this by determining the best route for data through a packet switching network.

IS-IS is an interior gateway protocol, designed for use within an administrative domain or network. This is in contrast to exterior gateway protocols, primarily Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), which is used for routing between autonomous systems (RFC 1930).

IS-IS is a link-state routing protocol, operating by reliably flooding link state information throughout a network of routers. Each IS-IS router independently builds a database of the network's topology, aggregating the flooded network information. Like the OSPF protocol, IS-IS uses Dijkstra's algorithm for computing the best path through the network. Packets (datagrams) are then forwarded, based on the computed ideal path, through the network to the destination.

The IS-IS protocol was developed by a team of people working at Digital Equipment Corporation as part of DECnet Phase V. It was standardized by the ISO in 1992 as ISO 10589 for communication between network devices that are termed Intermediate Systems (as opposed to end systems or hosts) by the ISO. The purpose of IS-IS was to make the routing of datagrams possible using the ISO-developed OSI protocol stack called CLNS.

IS-IS was developed at roughly the same time that the Internet Engineering Task Force IETF was developing a similar protocol called OSPF. IS-IS was later extended to support routing of datagrams in the Internet Protocol (IP), the network-layer protocol of the global Internet. This version of the IS-IS routing protocol was then called Integrated IS-IS (RFC 1195)

IS-IS is also used as the control plane for IEEE 802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging (SPB). SPB allows for shortest-path forwarding in an Ethernet mesh network context utilizing multiple equal cost paths. This permits SPB to support large Layer 2 topologies, with fast convergence, and improved use of the mesh topology.[5] Combined with this is single point provisioning for logical connectivity membership. IS-IS is therefore augmented with a small number of TLVs and sub-TLVs, and supports two Ethernet encapsulating data paths, 802.1ad Provider Bridges and 802.1ah Provider Backbone Bridges. SPB requires no state machine or other substantive changes to IS-IS, and simply requires a new Network Layer Protocol Identifier (NLPID) and set of TLVs. This extension to IS-IS is defined in the IETF proposed standard RFC 6329.

ISIS is a routing protocolwhich is described in ISO10589, RFC 1195, RFC 5308. ISIS is anIGP. Compared with RIP,ISIS can provide scalable network support and faster convergence timeslike OSPF. ISIS is widely used in large networks such as ISP and carrier backbone networks.

There are no isisd specific options. Common options can be specified(Common Invocation Options) to isisd. isisd needs to acquireinterface information from zebra in order to function. Therefore zebra mustbe running before invoking isisd. Also, if zebra is restarted then isisdmust be too.

Activate ISIS adjacency on this interface. Note that the name of ISISinstance must be the same as the one used to configure the ISIS process (seecommand router isis WORD). To enable IPv4, issue ip router isisWORD; to enable IPv6, issue ipv6 router isis WORD.

Enable per-prefix TI-LFA fast reroute link or node protection.When node protection is used, option link-fallback enables the computation and use oflink-protecting LFAs for destinations unprotected by node protection.

IS-IS-TE supports RFC 5305 (base TE), RFC 6119 (IPv6) and RFC 7810 / 8570(Extended Metric) with or without Multi-Topology. All Traffic Engineeringinformation are stored in a database formally named TED. However, bestacccuracy is provided without Multi-Topology due to inconsistency of TrafficEngineering Advertisement of 3rd party commercial routers when MT is enabled.At this time, FRR offers partial support for some of the routing protocolextensions that can be used with MPLS-TE. FRR does not currently support acomplete RSVP-TE solution.

IS-IS, originally designed for Open System Interconnection (OSI) routing, uses TLV parameters to carry information in Link State Packets (LSPs). The TLVs make IS-IS extendable. IS-IS can therefore carry different kinds of information in the LSPs. As defined by ISO 10589, IS-IS supports only the Connectionless Network Protocol (CLNP). However, IS-IS was extended for IP routing in RFC 1195 with the registration of TLV 128 which contains a set of 12-octet fields to carry IP information.

In the IS-IS Protocol Data Unit (PDU), there is a fixed and a variable part of the header. The fixed part of the header contains fields that are always present, and the variable part of the header contains the TLV which permits the flexible encoding of parameters within link state records. These fields are identified by one octet of type (T), one octet of length (L) and "L" octets of value (V). The Type field indicates the type of items in the Value field. The Length field indicates the length of the Value field. The Value field is the data portion of the packet. Not all router implementations support all TLVs, but they are required to ignore and retransmit the ignored types.

As explained by RFC 1195 , TLV 128 extends IS-IS to carry IP, in addition to Connectionless Network Service (CLNS), routing information in the same packet. DEC has also implemented an extension to IS-IS with TLV 42. This extension allows the IS-IS to hold information about DECnet Phase IV networks. In the future, a new TLV may be implemented allowing CLNS to carry IPv6 routing information.

Several routing protocols use TLVs to carry a variety of attributes. Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), Label Discovery Protocol (LDP), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) are examples of protocols that use TLVs. BGP uses TLVs to carry attributes such as Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI), Multiple Exit Discriminator (MED), and local preference.

RFC 1142 Section 9, a revision of ISO 10589, provides detail about the packet layouts for each type of IS-IS PDU, as well as the TLVs supported for each type. The first eight octets of all IS-IS PDUs are header fields that are common to all PDU types. The TLV information is stored at the very end of the PDU. Different types of PDUs have a set of currently-defined codes. Any codes that are not recognized should be ignored and passed through unchanged.

Sub-TLVs use the same concepts as TLVs. The difference is that TLVs exist inside IS-IS packets, while sub-TLVs exist inside TLVs. TLVs are used to add extra information to IS-IS packets. Sub-TLVs are used to add extra information to particular TLVs. Each sub-TLV consists of three fields. A one-octet Type field, a one-octet Length field, and zero or more octets of Value. The Type field indicates the type of items in the Value field. The Length field indicates the length of the Value field in octets. Each sub-TLV can potentially hold multiple items. The number of items in a sub-TLV can be computed from the length of the whole sub-TLV, when the length of each item is known. Unknown sub-TLVs are to be ignored and skipped on receipt.

Additionally, these sub-TLVs are part of Extended IS Reachability TLV 22, with the exception of the sub-TLV 1 which is part of Extended IP Reachability TLV 135. The sub-TLV 1 is defined in draft-martin-neal-policy-isis-admin-tags-01.txt

* The Sub-TLVs 250 and 251 are part of Cisco-specific extensions in support of MPLS-TE that is documented in draft-ietf-isis-traffic-04.txt. These Sub-TLVs are used during the Guraranteed Bandwidth application under MPLS-TE.

Before delving into other concepts behind the IS-IS protocol, you need tounderstand the fundamentals of IS-IS packets and packet formats. This knowledgeaids in the understanding of the capabilities of the protocol and how it works.Connectionless protocols, such as CLNP and IP, transmit data in little chunksknown as packets. In ISO 10589, packets are referred to as protocol dataunits (PDU). This book refers to them as packets in conformity withIP terminology. Multiple packet types are used in connectionless environments,with data and routing information packets being predominant.

This section briefly reviews the types of packets used in the IS-IS protocoland their general format. IS-IS packets have three categories: hello packets,link-state packets, and sequence number packets. Hello packets are used toestablish and maintain adjacencies between IS-IS neighbors. Link-state packetsare used to distribute routing information between IS-IS nodes. Sequence numberpackets are used to control distribution of link-state packets, essentiallyproviding mechanisms for synchronization of the distributed Link-State databaseson the routers in an IS-IS routing area.
