Support of Point-to-Multipoint Bidirectional Forwarding Detection in Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links
RFC 8564, “Support of Point-to-Multipoint Bidirectional Forwarding Detection in Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2019 by M. Zhang, S. Pallagatti, V. Govindan. It updates RFC 7175, RFC 7177. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Point-to-multipoint (P2MP) Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is designed to verify multipoint connectivity. This document specifies the support of P2MP BFD in Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL). Similar to TRILL point-to-point BFD, BFD Control packets in TRILL P2MP BFD are transmitted using RBridge Channel messages. This document updates RFCs 7175 and 7177.
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.
