Abstract
The Switch Broadcast Control and Delivery (SBCD) protocol is part of the InterSwitch Message Protocol (ISMP). ISMP was designed to facilitate interswitch communication within distributed connection-oriented switching networks. The SBCD protocol is used to reduce the amount of broadcast traffic across the switch fabric by restricting unresolved broadcast packets to only those ports that belong to the same VLAN as the source.
