Abstract:
If RBridges are casually assigned as Appointed Forwarders for VLANs
without considering the number of MAC addresses and traffic load of
these VLANs, it may overload some of the RBridges while leave other
RBridges lightly loaded, which reduces the scalability of a RBridge
network and undermines its performance.
A new mechanism is designed in this document to support the adaptive
VLAN assignment (or Appointed Forwarder selection) based on the
forwarders' reporting of their usage of MAC tables and available
bandwidth.
