The full title of this PAR is "Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks - Amendment 8: Shortest Path Bridging".
This standard specifies shortest path bridging of unicast and multicast frames, including protocols to calculate multiple active topologies that can share learnt station location information, and support of a VLAN by multiple, per topology, VLAN identifiers (VIDs).
This amendment will augment the existing, successful, multi-vendor interoperable bridging specifications to allow use of shortest path communication within administratively defined network regions, while retaining concurrent support for all existing capabilities and configurations.
