Perhaps Robert is referring to when homenet was considering using IS-IS instead of a brand new protocol (babel) for use in the homenet. The proposed solution for very simple devices (e.g. thermostats or anything w/o much ram etc) was to use the overload bit. This wasn't just for hosts though, but for very small devices that could still serve as simple router for a network behind them. https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-mrw-homenet-rtg-comparison-02.txt Christian Franke coded up "tinyisis" in 1500 lines of C code. :) https://git-us.netdef.org/projects/OSR/repos/tinyisis/browse/tinyisis.c Thanks, Chris.
