Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL): Adjacency
Abstract
The IETF Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL)
protocol supports arbitrary link technologies between TRILL switches,
including point-to-point links and multi-access Local Area Network
(LAN) links that can have multiple TRILL switches and end stations
attached. TRILL uses Intermediate System to Intermediate System
(IS-IS) routing. This document specifies the establishment,
reporting, and termination of IS-IS adjacencies between TRILL
switches, also known as RBridges (Routing Bridges). It also concerns
four other link-local aspects of TRILL: Designated RBridge (DRB)
selection, MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) testing, pseudonode
creation, and BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) session
bootstrapping in connection with adjacency. State diagrams are
included where appropriate. This document obsoletes RFC 6327 and
updates RFC 6325.
