Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links Use of IS-IS
RFC 7176, “Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links Use of IS-IS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2014 by D. Eastlake 3rd, T. Senevirathne, A. Ghanwani, D. Dutt, A. Banerjee. It obsoletes RFC 6326. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The IETF Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) protocol provides optimal pair-wise data frame forwarding without configuration in multi-hop networks with arbitrary topology and link technology; it also provides support for multipathing of both unicast and multicast traffic. This document specifies the data formats and code points for the IS-IS extensions to support TRILL. These data formats and code points may also be used by technologies other than TRILL. This document obsoletes RFC 6326.
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.
