Juniper Networks Juniper Networks Juniper Networks Juniper Networks Cisco Systems New technologies are adding new information into IS-IS while deployment scales are simultaneously increasing. This causes the contents of many critical TLVs to exceed the currently supported limit of 255 octets. Extensions exist that require significant IS-IS changes that could help address the problem, but a less drastic solution would be beneficial. This document codifies the common mechanism of extending the TLV content space through multiple TLVs.
