RBridges implement the TRILL protocol, which in turn makes use of an
   extended version of the IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate
   System) routing protocol to determine topology and frame forwarding
   and for the distribution and synchronization of data. RBridges
   provide optimal pair-wise forwarding with zero configuration, safe
   forwarding even during periods of temporary loops, and multipathing
   for both unicast and multicast traffic. Rbridges also support VLANs.
   This document specifies some details of IS-IS PDUs used in TRILL.
