The base IETF TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links)
protocol has a TRILL campus-wide MTU feature, specified in RFCs 6325
and 7177, that assures that link-state changes can be successfully
flooded throughout the campus while being able to take advantage of a
campus-wide capability to support jumbo packets. This document
specifies recommended updates to that MTU feature to take advantage,
for appropriate link-local packets, of link-local MTUs that exceed
the TRILL campus MTU. In addition, it specifies an efficient
algorithm for local MTU testing. This document updates RFCs 6325,
7177, and 7780.
This document is a product of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
