RFC 9183: Single Nickname for an Area Border RBridge in Multilevel Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL)
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
A major issue in multilevel TRILL is how to manage RBridge nicknames. In this document, area border RBridges use a single nickname in both Level 1 and Level 2. RBridges in Level 2 must obtain unique nicknames but RBridges in different Level 1 areas may have the same nicknames.
