Perhaps Robert is referring to when homenet was considering using IS-IS
instead of a brand new protocol (babel) for use in the homenet. The proposed
solution for very simple devices (e.g. thermostats or anything w/o much ram
etc) was to use the overload bit. This wasn't just for hosts though, but for
very small devices that could still serve as simple router for a network behind
them.

Christian Franke coded up "tinyisis" in 1500 lines of C code. :)

We have " IS-IS Routing for Spine-Leaf Topology" to address resources on a TOR
while still having multiple northbound links. At least in the context of
flooding reduction, I don’t think we need anything IS-IS lite.
