Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links : RBridge Channel Support
RFC 7178, “Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links : RBridge Channel Support”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2014 by D. Eastlake 3rd, V. Manral, Y. Li, S. Aldrin, D. Ward. It has since been updated by RFC 7978. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a general channel mechanism for sending messages, such as Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) messages, between Routing Bridges (RBridges) and between RBridges and end stations in an RBridge campus through extensions to the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) protocol.
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.
