Spanning Tree Protocol Application of the Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol
RFC 7727, “Spanning Tree Protocol Application of the Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2016 by M. Zhang, H. Wen, J. Hu. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP) supports an inter-chassis redundancy mechanism that is used to support high network availability.
In this document, Provider Edge (PE) devices in a Redundancy Group (RG) running ICCP are used to offer multihomed connectivity to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) networks to improve availability of the STP networks. The ICCP TLVs and usage for the ICCP STP application are defined.
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.
