	Title		: Point-to-point operation over LAN in link-state 
                          routing protocols

Two different circuit types are commonly used by link state routing
protocols: point-to-point and broadcast. It is important to identify
the correct circuit type in forming adjacency with neighbors,
in flooding link state database packets, in representation of the
circuit subnet. This document describes a simple mechanism to treat
the broadcast media as point-to-point connection from IP routing
protocol point of view if there are only two devices on the LAN
media.

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.
