Hi, Acee, Les and Jeff:
IGP is used to transfer the topology information within the domain, and the s=
tub/passive interface is the important part of one network, especially for t=
he inter-AS topology.
Currently, we have not figured out other use cases to distinguish other inte=
rfaces type. But for stub/passive interfaces, it will be useful to flooding s=
uch information to other internal routers.
OSPF has already the corresponding consideration and specifications, isn=E2=80=
=99t it reasonable for ISIS to have such capabilities also?
