Subject: [Lsr] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-li-area-abstraction-00.txt

FYI:

This is a proposal to improve the way that IS-IS does areas.  A level 1 area can now be a transit without injecting its topology into level 2.

As always, comments are most welcome.

Regards,
Tony

> Abstract:
>   Link state routing protocols have hierarchical abstraction already
>   built into them.  However, when lower levels are used for transit,
>   they must expose their internal topologies, leading to scale issues.
> 
>   To avoid this, this document discusses extensions to the IS-IS
>   routing protocol that would allow level 1 areas to provide transit,
>   yet only inject an abstraction of the topology into level 2.
