TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) 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" as originally specified in RFC
6325, 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 RFCs 6325 and 7177 and
obsoletes RFC 6439.
This document is a product of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
