Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System or IS-IS is a routing protocol for internet Protocol networks. The protocol was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and was standardized in 1998. IS-IS is similar to other routing protocols like the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol. While OSPF is a link-state routing protocol that runs in a single area, IS-IS is also a link-state routing protocol, but it operates in multiple areas. This feature makes IS-IS a more suitable option for large networks.
