IS-IS topology
Figure 4-3
shows another network topology running the IS-IS protocol. The Level-1-2
routers connect the Level-1 and Level-2 routers, and also form the IS-IS backbone
together with the Level-2 routers. There is no area defined as the backbone in this
topology. The backbone is composed of all contiguous Level-2 and Level-1-2 routers
which can reside in different areas.

Note:
The IS-IS backbone does not need to be a specific Area.
