The Appointed Forwarder on a link for VLAN-x is the RBridge that
ingresses native frames from the link and egresses native frames to
the link in VLAN-x. If the appointed forwarder for an end station is
changed, the remote data traffic to the end station could fail. This
document is proposed to assign a nickname for pseudonode identifying
a multi-access link to solve the issue. When any appointed forwarder
encapsulates a packet, it uses the pseudonode nickname as "ingress
nickname" rather than its own nickname. If it does, then if the
appointed forwarder changes, or the DRB changes, and the pseudonode
still uses the same nickname, then the remote RBridge caches won't
need to change, and the data traffic to the end station would reach
the link uninterruptedly.
