Protocol Overview
The intermediate-system-to-intermediate-system (IS-IS) protocol, developed by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO), is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that uses a shortest-path-first
algorithm.
Note: This protocol supports routers passing both IP and OSI traffic, though the Dell Force10
implementation supports only IP traffic.
