OSPF is a link-state intra-domain routing protocol used in IP
networks.  OSPF routers exchange information on a link using packets
that follow a well-defined format.  The format of OSPF packets is not
flexible enough to enable applications to exchange arbitrary data, which
may be necessary in certain situations.  This memo describes a
vendor-specific, backward-compatible technique to perform link-local
signaling, i.e., exchange arbitrary data on a link.  This memo defines an 
Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.


EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet 
community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion
and suggestions for improvement are requested.  Distribution of this memo
