Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Application
of the Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP)
Abstract
The Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP) supports an inter-
chassis redundancy mechanism that is used to support high network
availability.
In this document, Provider Edge (PE) devices in a Redundancy Group
(RG) running ICCP are used to offer multihomed connectivity to
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) networks to improve availability of the
STP networks. The ICCP TLVs and usage for the ICCP STP application
are defined.
