Inception: RBridges: Routing Bridges (2007/596)
Submitter: James Carlson
Owner: James Carlson
Intern: Sebastian Roy 
Exposure: open

SUMMARY
=======
The RBridges product provides Solaris with bridging functionality, including 
a new protocol (under development in the IETF) that will replace Spanning Tree 
Protocol, and also with IS-IS routing for IP networks.

ISSUES
======
kb-01   The crossbow project is exposing a MAC client API for adding extra
         packet receivers (such snoop instances) and sumit packets for
         transmission at the MAC level (not DLS, which is being removed from
         the datapath). RBridges should communicate with to the Crossbow
 	project to see if the MAC client API is sufficient for RBriges needs.

ANSWER: There should be some specification for crossbow.
	Redirect to some interface - needs to be provided from MAC API.
	Virtualization Architecture doc contains the info. - Jim to include 			 info.
	

Jim comments:
Managment would like to deliver a subset of this project early. There will be future cases to flesh out these details.

Gary comments:
Prefer not to have to look up decoder info, ie TRIL.

Sebastian comments:
Case dependencies might get complicated with crossbow project.
 
 THE NEXT STEP

Not ready for vote yet.
