Abstract :
In this presentation, a novel link-state control protocol for shortest path bridging, Root-controlled bridging is introduced. This control protocol provides loop free operation, reduces computational complexity, and has a faster convergence than the basic IS-IS approach. Traffic load is negligible compared to link capacity.
