1.  Introduction

IS-IS is the "OSI Intermediate system to Intermediate system intra-domain routeing information exchange protocol for use in conjunction with the protocol for providing the connectionless-mode Network Service (ISO 8473)", otherwise known as ISO/IEC 10589. It has been extended for use with IP by RFC 1195[RFC1195] (Callon, R., “Use of OSI IS-IS for routing in TCP/IP and dual environments,” December 1990.) and subsequently enhanced by many other RFCs.

RFC 1142[RFC1142] (Oran, D., “OSI IS-IS Intra-domain Routing Protocol,” February 1990.) was a republication of ISO DP 10589 originally provided as a service to the Internet community. However, ISO DP 10589 was an ISO "Draft Proposal" which differed in a considerable number of significant respects from the final standardised version published as ISO/IEC 10589[ISO10589‑First‑Edition] (International Organization for Standardization, “Intermediate system to Intermediate system intra-domain routeing information exchange protocol for use in conjunction with the protocol for providing the connectionless-mode Network Service (ISO 8473),” Nov 1992.), and subsequently revised as ISO/IEC 10589 second edition[ISO10589‑Second‑Edition] (International Organization for Standardization, “Intermediate system to Intermediate system intra-domain routeing information exchange protocol for use in conjunction with the protocol for providing the connectionless-mode Network Service (ISO 8473),” Nov 2002.). It has been an ongoing source of confusion when RFC 1142 has been unwittingly quoted or referenced in place of ISO/IEC 10589 itself.

All references to IS-IS should be to ISO/IEC 10589:2002, Second Edition and RFC 1142 is only of historic interest.
