Abstract
Embodiments generally relate to enabling encapsulation in networks. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a message from an edge configuration device, wherein the message contains shortest path bridging (SPB) configuration information. The method also includes performing provider backbone bridge (MAC-in-MAC) encapsulation in response to receiving the message.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a message from an edge configuration device, wherein the message contains shortest path bridging (SPB) configuration information;
- and
- performing provider backbone bridge (MAC-in-MAC) encapsulation in response to receiving the message.
A computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium including program instructions to be implemented by a device connected to a communication network, the program instructions for:
- receiving a message from an edge configuration device, wherein the message contains shortest path bridging (SPB) configuration information;
- and
- performing provider backbone bridge (MAC-in-MAC) encapsulation in response to receiving the message.
A device comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor operative to access the memory and perform operations comprising:
- receiving a message from an edge configuration device, wherein the message contains shortest path bridging (SPB) configuration information;
- and
- performing provider backbone bridge (MAC-in-MAC) encapsulation in response to receiving the message.
