Abstract:
According to RFC 7176, DRB on a link uses the Appointed Forwarders
sub-TLV to inform other ISs on the link that they are the designated
VLAN-x forwarder for one or more ranges of VLAN IDs. Appointed
Forwarders sub-tlv has Appointed Information field which carries
information about Appointee Nickname, Start.VLAN and End.VLAN. Both
Start.VLAN and VLAN.end to the same value indicates a range of one
VLAN ID, if they are different then the Appointed RBridge is AF for
that range of VLAN ID's. If end-station's VLAN's are configured in
discontiguous/discreet [1,3,5,7 etc] way then DRB has to send
Appointed Information equal to number of Discreet VLAN's Appointed
for a particular RBridge. The problem will worsen if huge number of
endstation VLAN's are discreet. This paper is an attempt to handle
such scenarios.
