III. Hello
The hello packet is used by routers to establish and maintain the neighbor relationship.
It is also called IS-to-IS hello PDU (IIH). For broadcast network, the Level-1 router uses
the Level-1 LAN IIH; and the Level-2 router uses the Level-2 LAN IIH. The P2P IIH is
used on point-to-point network.
Figure 4-7 illustrates the hello packet format in broadcast networks, where the blue
fields are the common header.
