Which IS-IS TLV should be used to advertise information about the router's neighbors and link metrics?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

TLV 22, the Extended IS Reachability TLV defined in RFC 5305, is the modern and Junos-preferred mechanism for advertising a router's adjacent neighbors together with the metric associated with each link. It carries the seven-octet system ID and pseudonode number of each neighbor along with a 24-bit wide metric field, and supports an extensible set of sub-TLVs used for traffic-engineering data such as interface and neighbor IP addresses, bandwidth, and administrative groups. The original IS Reachability TLV, TLV 2, defined in the base ISO 10589 standard, carries similar neighbor and metric information but is constrained to a 6-bit narrow metric with a maximum value of 63, which is inadequate for expressing meaningful cost differentiation in modern, high-capacity enterprise and service-provider topologies; consequently, Junos deployments are commonly configured for wide-metrics-only, favoring TLV 22 over the legacy TLV 2 whenever traffic-engineering-capable or simply more granular metric representation is desired. TLV 132, the IP Interface Address TLV, only advertises the IPv4 addresses configured on the originating router's interfaces and carries no neighbor-adjacency or metric information. TLV 129, the Protocols Supported TLV, merely lists which network-layer protocols (such as IPv4 or IPv6) the originating router is capable of routing, and likewise has nothing to do with neighbor reachability or link cost. Reference topics: Junos Enterprise Routing -- IS-IS, Extended IS Reachability and Wide Metrics.

I thought TLV 22 was for advertising neighbors, but I also have a vague memory of TLV 129 being relevant too.

I feel like TLV 2 is a common one, but I might be mixing it up with something else.

I remember practicing with TLV 129 and TLV 132, but I can't recall which one is for link metrics.

I think TLV 22 is related to neighbor information, but I'm not entirely sure.
