NLSP is a link state interior gateway protocol for IPX networks. NLSP, which is based on the OSI Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol, has features similar to those of other link state protocols, such as OSPF. Like other link state protocols, NLSP supports hierarchical addressing and fast convergence.
NLSP has the capability to use hierarchical routing techniques to aggregate and summarize IPX network numbers. Route aggregation and summarization are useful in large IPX networks for the same reasons they are useful in large IP networks.
