A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Rbridges: Base Protocol Specification
Author(s) : R. Perlman, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-trill-rbridge-protocol-02.txt
Pages : 25
Date : 2007-1-17
RBridges provide the ability to have an entire campus, with multiple
physical links, look to IP like a single subnet. The design allows
for zero configuration of switches within a campus, optimal pair-wise
routing, safe forwarding even during periods of temporary loops, and
the ability to cut down on ARP/ND traffic. The design also supports
VLANs, and allows forwarding tables to be based on RBridge
destinations (rather than endnode destinations), which allows
internal routing tables to be substantially smaller than in
conventional bridge systems.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-trill-rbridge-protocol-02.txt".
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.
