	Title           : Adaptive VLAN Assignment for Data Center RBridges
	Author(s)       : Mingui Zhang
                          Dacheng Zhang

   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 protocol is designed in this document to support the adaptive
   VLAN assignment (or Appointed Forwarder selection) based on the
   forwarders&#39; reporting of their usage of MAC tables and available
   bandwidth.
