ISIS Sporadically failing over SRP ring

Hi All.

I have a customer who has there own private SRP ring using IS-IS as the IGP and TDP for the MPLS protocol.

Every now and then the IS-IS loses its adjacencys with the some of the routers on the ring.  This also happens with TDP.  Log messages for IS-IS below:


Jul 13 12:17:47.725 BST: %CLNS-5-ADJCHANGE: ISIS: Adjacency to GM6736 (SRP1/1) Down, hold time expired

The weird thing is this happens for just a second and then it recovers.

I'm a bit puzzled why the adjacencys are failing as the holdtimer is set to 30 secs.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers

Hello Kevin,

ISIS hello packets are padded to CLNS MTU with default settings this is different from what happens with OSPF hello packets that are small packets.

Also ISIS packets are not IP packets so if any form of scheduler is used on the SRP ring there is the risk ISIS packets are not treated well

you could try to reduce clns mtu in interface mode and to disable hello padding (not sure if this is done in router isis process or interface level)

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Guisar,

Thanks for the advice.

I forgot to add that TDP also loses its neighbors as well.

More frequently than ISIS.

There is a QOS policy on the SRP interface so there is a scheduler active.

I had already disabled hello padding.

Thanks


Kev

To add.

Dont IGP's use the pak priority so they always go before anything else?

Cheers

Kev
