Title : ABridges as RBridges: Transparent Routing with Simplified Multiple Spanning Trees.

RBridges are link layer devices that use routing protocols as
a control plane but do not target to scale up to large campus
networks. This document contains an alternative proposal to
link-state RBridges, named ABridges. ABridges overcome
RBridges L2 network size restrictions allowing applicability
to very large Ethernet campus networks while maintaining zero
configuration and high performance, by assuming a topological
restriction that is automatically performed. The proposal
includes a two-layered network architecture with two
hierarchical independent spanning tree layers. Expected
convergence is fast, probably below two seconds.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
