The IETF TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) protocol
includes an optional mechanism (specified in RFC 7178) called RBridge
Channel for the transmission of typed messages between TRILL switches
in the same campus and the transmission of such messages between TRILL
switches and end stations on the same link. This document specifies
extensions to the RBridge Channel protocol header to support two
features as follows: (1) a standard method to tunnel payloads whose
type can be indicated by Ethertype through encapsulation in RBridge
Channel messages; and (2) a method to support security facilities for
RBridge Channel messages. This document updates RFC 7178.
This document is a product of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links
Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
