NetWare Link-Service Protocol (1)

• Link-state routing protocol from Novell designed to overcome some of the limitations associated with the IPX RIP and Service Advertisement Protocol (SAP)

• Based on OSI IS-IS

• Better efficiency, scalability, routing than IPX RIP

• Backwards compatible with RIP

• NLSP-based routers store a complete map of the network

• Routing information is exchanged only when topology changes
