NOTE: On an IS-IS broadcast network, all routers establish adjacency relationships, but they synchronize their LSDBs through the DIS. IS-IS PDUs PDU IS-IS PDUs are encapsulated into link layer frames. An IS-IS PDU has two parts, the headers and the variable length fields.

On broadcast networks, Level-1 routers use Level-1 LAN IIHs, and Level-2 routers use Level-2 LAN IIHs. The P2P IIHs are used on point-to-point networks. LSP The LSPs carry link state information. LSPs include Level-1 LSPs and Level-2 LSPs. The Level-2 LSPs are sent by the Level-2 routers, and the Level-1 LSPs are sent by the Level-1 routers. The Level-1-2 router can send both types of LSPs. SNP A sequence number PDU (SNP) describes the complete or partial LSPs for LSDB synchronization.

IS-IS PDUs
PDU
IS-IS PDUs are encapsulated into link layer frames. An IS-IS PDU has two parts, the headers and the
variable length fields. The headers comprise the PDU common header and the PDU specific header. All
PDUs have the same PDU common header. The specific headers vary by PDU type.

Hello PDU
IS-to-IS hello (IIH) PDUs are used by routers to establish and maintain neighbor relationships. On
broadcast networks, Level-1 routers use Level-1 LAN IIHs, and Level-2 routers use Level-2 LAN IIHs. The
P2P IIHs are used on point-to-point networks.
LSP
The LSPs carry link state information. LSPs include Level-1 LSPs and Level-2 LSPs. The Level-2 LSPs are sent
by the Level-2 routers, and the Level-1 LSPs are sent by the Level-1 routers. The Level-1-2 router can send
both types of LSPs.
SNP
A sequence number PDU (SNP) describes the complete or partial LSPs for LSDB synchronization.
SNPs include CSNP and PSNP, which are further divided into Level-1 CSNP, Level-2 CSNP, Level-1 PSNP,
and Level-2 PSNP.
