Hi, everbody.
We’d like to announce that at the IETF in Prague there will be a demo at
the Bits’n’Bytes of IS-IS running over IPv6 link local addressing,
including using mostly unicast packets for node to node communication to
work better with wifi. The needed modifications will be taken to the ISIS
working group as well, in order to make these changes standards track,
with -00 drafts released before the draft submission deadlines for Prague
IETF. There will be two code bases presented that’ll interoperate using
these changes, both the Erlang one (which will be fully managed using
zebrad in Quagga), and the existing C based one in Quagga will see
implementations of all the mentioned changes.
During Q3, all the changes to both code bases will be rigorously tested
using ISIS testing suites and bugs fixed to assure that both code bases
adhere to the IS-IS standards and that both code bases will be “production
grade” code.
We hope this will address the major concerns about IS-IS being not
suitable for homenet use because of its use of multicast and that it
doesn’t run over IPv6, and also that the Erlang codebase is too big.
