If the appointed forwarder for an end station is changed, the remote data traffic to the end station could fail. This document is proposed to assign a nickname for pseudonode identifying a multi-access link to solve the issue. When any appointed forwarder encapsulates a packet, it uses the pseudonode nickname as "ingress nickname" rather than its own nickname. If it does, then if the appointed forwarder changes, or the DRB changes, and the pseudonode still uses the same nickname, then the remote RBridge caches won't need to change, and the data traffic to the end station would reach the link uninterruptedly.}, }
