Until SPB, Ethernet had retained its original control mechanisms, and these are now distinctly behind the state of the art in their properties. SPB refreshes this component of Ethernet, by taking the existing data path technology practically unaltered, and marrying it to a significant extension of the state of the art in distributed control planes, link state routing.The book both explains both the "what" and the "why" of the standard. The intent is to provide a sense of the relative simplicity of 802.1aq, in terms of the small number of moving parts required to achieve what it does, and why those choices were made. It goes into what were elective decisions and what decisions were dictated by the design goals. It does this by using a multipart approach to the book. The first is a "what it is" description, intended to provide an overview of SPB. The second is separated out, and uses a narrative form to describe the design process and decisions that led to SPB, in order to provide further context in understanding the first part. The book is rounded out with applications and potential futures for the technology to suggest where it could go"--Provided by publisher.Shortest path bridging design and evolutionBridges (Computer networks)StandardsBridges (Computer networks)Standards.004.6/2TEC061000bisacshAllan David1956-1838813Bragg Nigel1838814IEEE Xplore (Online Service),MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911018800803321802.1aq shortest path bridging design and evolution4417889UNINA
