Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links : Bidirectional Forwarding Detection Support
RFC 7175, “Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links : Bidirectional Forwarding Detection Support”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2014 by V. Manral, D. Eastlake 3rd, D. Ward, A. Banerjee. It has since been updated by RFC 8564. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies use of the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol in Routing Bridge (RBridge) campuses based on the RBridge Channel extension to the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) protocol.
BFD is a widely deployed Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) mechanism in IP and MPLS networks, using UDP and Associated Channel Header (ACH) encapsulation respectively. This document specifies the BFD encapsulation over TRILL.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
