Technical Summary:
This document specifies the establishment, conditions for
reporting, and termination of IS-IS adjacency between TRILL
switches. It also concerns four other link-local aspects of TRILL:
Designated RBridge (DRB) selection, MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
testing, pseudonode creation, and BFD (Bi-directional Forwarding
Detection) session bootstrapping. State diagrams are included where
appropriate. It replaces RFC 6327 and the changes from that RFC are
listed in Appendix A. Although there are some changes in actions
and state transition criteria, there are no changes in the
structure of the state diagrams themselves from RFC 6327.
Working Group Summary:
This document replaces RFC 6327, mostly upgrading it to take into
account other approved documents. As such, there was less new
material in the draft than most and somewhat less discussion of the
draft in the TRILL WG.
Document Quality:
This document is an update of RFC 6327, which RFC was very
carefully reviewed by a number of persons including Mike Shand. One
of the current co-authors, Howard Yang, is implementing portions of
this draft. The document is of high quality.
