[rbridge] (R)bridging dissimilar media

[Guillermo Ibáñez]

802.11 would be worth a detailed analysis (to be included in the draft). 
One aspect is the inter Access Point communication for tracking movin 
endnodes (stations). For instance, consider the scenario when a station 
moves from the reach of one Access Point to another AP area, the "new" 
AP broadcasts  the new station in the fixed network, the DR shall learn 
this new endnode and include in its host list announcements.  "Previous" 
AP shall cancel the endnode from his announced host list. It also 
applies to fixed networks case. The simultaneous announcement of a 
specific host by two Rbridges may be  solved by selecting as owner of 
host the Rbridge with most recent announcement of the two.
