Hi, Nice summary given by Dave. Here is something I think it can be used for: - http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-isis-admin-tags-03.txt Thanks, Vishwas -----Original Message----- From: Mailing List [mailto:OSPF@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM] On Behalf Of Dave Katz Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 8:02 AM To: OSPF@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM Subject: Re: type-5 las extarnal-tag field Back in prehistory (end of the Reagan years), this was known as the "Milo Word" (since Milo Medin was the guy who wanted it put in there.) It was originally intended to be a pre-BGP way of controlling external route distribution, by carrying an AS number (for example.) The choice of which externals to distribute back out of the domain was made in part by tags added at the point where the routes came in. Yes, in those days people did inject full Internet routing into their IGP, but it was a smaller, slower world back then. Now it's sort of a Rorschach test for routing interactions.
