Single Nickname for an Area Border RBridge in Multilevel Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links
RFC 9183, “Single Nickname for an Area Border RBridge in Multilevel Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2022 by M. Zhang, D. Eastlake 3rd, R. Perlman, M. Cullen, H. Zhai. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
A major issue in multilevel TRILL is how to manage RBridge nicknames. In this document, area border RBridges use a single nickname in both Level 1 and Level 2. RBridges in Level 2 must obtain unique nicknames but RBridges in different Level 1 areas may have the same nicknames.
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.
