Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links : Vendor- Specific RBridge Channel Protocol
RFC 8381, “Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links : Vendor- Specific RBridge Channel Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2018 by D. Eastlake 3rd, Y. Li, W. Hao, A. Banerjee. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The IETF TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) protocol is implemented by devices called TRILL switches or RBridges (Routing Bridges). TRILL includes a general mechanism, called an RBridge Channel, for the transmission of typed messages between RBridges in the same campus and between RBridges and end stations on the same link. This document specifies a method to send vendor-specific messages over the RBridge Channel facility.
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.
