Technical Summary
The TRILL base protocol standard [RFC6325] provides for TRILL Data
messages and TRILL IS-IS messages.
This document specifies a general channel mechanism for the
transmission of other messages within an RBridge campus, such as BFD
(Bidirectional Forwarding Detection, [RFC5880]) and error messages,
between
RBridges and end stations that are directly connected on the same
link and between RBridges. This mechanism supports a requirement to
be able to operate with minimal configuration.
Working Group Summary
There was consensus in the working group in favor of the document.
Document Quality
The document has been carefully reviewed in the WG and by the document
shepherd. There are currently no known implementations of the channel
mechanism, but BFD and error reporting will drive their implementation.
