A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : ISIS Extensions for Signaling Local Protection Capabilities Author(s) : A. Atlas Filename : draft-martin-isis-local-protect-cap-00.txt Pages : 6 Date : 2004-2-9 This document specifies additional information that can inserted in IS-IS LSPs to convey link capabilities that may be useful in certain applications. In particular, an IS may indicate that zero or more of its links may be used by an upstream IS as an alternate, SPT-disjoint path to an arbitrary destination D. Additionally, an IS may convey that zero or more of its links are capable of breaking a U-turn, which may be described as a single-hop forwarding loop between two IS's. This means that a router can detect the presence of a forwarding loop by recognizing that traffic to a destination is being received from a neighbor to which it has forwarding state pointing back to the same neighbor for that destination. In such a situation, it will switch to a loop-free node-protecting alternate until new primary forwarding state has been installed, thus breaking the U-turn. Therefore, the immediate applicability for these two link capabilities is in support of local protection in the event of a link and/or node failure while the IS-IS area is reconverging onto a new topology.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-martin-isis-local-protect-cap-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-martin-isis-local-protect-cap-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
