HSRP/VRRP in Routers: BGP Tier1, Tier2, Tier3

IS-IS is a link state protocol that allows routers to understand when the same node is at the end of two point-to-link links by sharing the same network address. The router sends the same link state packet (LSP) data structure out both links, so if one link fails the router can still route on the other link. Both links are used for load balancing by default unless different IS-IS costs are configured. When a failed link is restored, convergence is fast as it only requires rebuilding the IS-IS adjacency on the restored link.

IS-IS is a link state protocol so the router can understand that the same node is at the remote

end of both point-to-point links.(the net address is the exactly the same)

The same LSP data structure is sent out both links.

Of course if one link fails an IS-IS adj will go down but your router can still route and forward on
the other link.

Both links are used in load-balancing if you don't configure different IS-IS costs.

Convergence is very fast just the time to rebuild the IS-IS adj on the restored link.
