A new Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots
of Links Working Group of the IETF.

   Title         : Rbridges: Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
support for TRILL

   Author(s)     : D. Ward, et al
   Filename      : draft-ietf-trill-rbridge-bfd-00.txt
   Pages         : 11
   Date          : 2011-05-06

  This document specifies use of the BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding
  Detection) protocol in RBridge campuses based on the Rbridge Channel
  extension to the TRILL (TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links)
  protocol.

  BFD is a widely deployed (Operations, Administration and Maintenance)
  OAM mechanism in IP and MPLS networks.  However, in the present form
  a BFD packet cannot be sent over a TRILL network as it is either IP/
  UDP encapsulated or encapsulated directly over Multi Protocol Label
  Switching (MPLS) or using Associated Channel Header (ACH)
  encapsulation.  This document defines BFD encapsulation over TRILL to
  address this shortcoming.
