> Abstract:
>    Spine and leaf topologies are widely used in hyperscale and cloud
>    scale networks.  In most of these networks, configuration is
>    automated, but difficult, and topology information is extracted
>    through broad based connections.  Policy is often integrated into the
>    control plane, as well, making configuration, management, and
>    troubleshooting difficult.  OpenFabric is an adaptation of an
>    existing, widely deployed link state protocol, Intermediate Sytem to
>    Intermediate System (IS-IS) that is designed to:
> 
>    o  Provide a full view of the topology from a single point in the
>       network to simplify operations
> 
>    o  Minimize configuration of each router (or switch) in the network
> 
>    o  Optimize the operation of IS-IS within a spine and leaf fabric to
>       enable scaling
> 
>    This document begins with an overview of OpenFabric, including a
>    description of what may be removed from IS-IS to enable scaling.  The
>    document then describes an optimized adjacency formation process; an
>    optimized flooding scheme; some thoughts on the operation of
>    OpenFabric, metrics, and aggregation; and finally a description of
>    the changes to the IS-IS protocol required for OpenFabric.
