The IESG has received a request from the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links WG (trill) to consider the following document: - 'TRILL: Appointed Forwarders' <draft-ietf-trill-rfc6439bis-03.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-01-10. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract TRILL supports multi-access LAN (Local Area Network) links where a single link can have multiple end stations and TRILL switches attached. Where multiple TRILL switches are attached to a link, native traffic to and from end stations on that link is handled by a subset of those TRILL switches called "Appointed Forwarders", with the intent that native traffic in each VLAN be handled by at most one TRILL switch. This document clarifies and updates the Appointed Forwarder mechanism. It updates RFC 6325, updates RFC 7177, and obsoletes RFC 6439. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-trill-rfc6439bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-trill-rfc6439bis/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2585/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2685/
