Abstract:
This amendment defines an architecture and bridge protocols for interconnection of multiple provider bridged networks, allowing a provider to support up to 224 service instances.
Scope:
Insert the following text and bullets immediately after bullet z: To allow scaling of Provider Networks to at least 224 Service Virtual LANs, this standard further specifies the operation of Provider Backbone Bridges (PBBs) by means of an architecture and bridge protocols compatible and interoperable with Provider Bridged Network protocols and equipment, allowing interconnection of multiple Provider Bridged Networks. To this end, it aa) Introduces Backbone Edge Bridges that, by exchanging backbone frames that encapsulate the addresses, VLAN tags, and data of customer frames, support the virtual, media independent, equivalent of a number of independent instances of the service provided by media dependent frame transmission procedures. ab) Extends the parameters of the Internal Sublayer Service (ISS) and Enhanced Internal Sublayer Service (EISS) to include a connection identifier, capable of referencing the backbone addresses and other parameters, used to convey customer frames from one ...
