Support for Shortest Path Bridging MAC Mode over Ethernet VPN
RFC 7734, “Support for Shortest Path Bridging MAC Mode over Ethernet VPN”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2016 by D. Allan, J. Tantsura, D. Fedyk, A. Sajassi. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how Ethernet Shortest Path Bridging MAC mode (SPBM) can be combined with Ethernet VPN (EVPN) to interwork with Provider Backbone Bridging Provider Edges (PBB PEs) as described in the PBB-EVPN solution (RFC 7623). This is achieved via operational isolation of each Ethernet network attached to an EVPN core while supporting full interworking between the different variations of Ethernet networks.
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.
