Hello Karsten,

thank you for your input. I have made appropriate changes to the draft,
they can be seen here:

The homenet working group is currently in the process of selecting a
routing protocol to use. In that discussion some people voiced concern
that IS-IS would not be a good option since it was specified on top of
layer 2 instead of layer 3. This draft and the demo implementation were
done to address these concerns. On the one hand by showing that it
doesn't take much to run IS-IS on top of layer 3 and on the other hand
to provide a standardized way to do so, should the need arise.

I was not aware that switches existed which drop IS-IS PDUs, although
it's not that hard to imagine that there are switches which are broken
in that way. Could you name examples for switches showing this behavior?
