Part 5: Remote Media Access Control (MAC) bridging

Abstract:Extensions to the behavior of ISO/IEC 10038 (IEEE 802.1D) media access control (MAC) bridges, including the aspects of operation of remote MAC bridges that are observable on the interconnected LANs, are speciTed. A protocol for (optional) use between remote MAC bridges, across the non-LAN communications equipment that interconnects them, to conTgure the remote bridges within the bridged LAN in accordance with the spanning tree algorithm of ISO/IEC 10038: 1993, is also provided.
Keywords: bridge management, local area network (LAN), local bridge, logical link control, media access control (MAC) bridges, remote bridge, spanning tree algorithm, spanning tree protocol
