ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a method associated with a multiple I-service registration protocol (MIRP) includes receiving into an 802.1ah I-component an MVRP TCN from an 802.1ad component. The TCN may be received, for example, from an 802.1ad bridge. The TCN may identify an affected service using an S-VID. Therefore, the example method may include identifying the S-VID specified by the TCN. The method may also include identifying I-SIDs related to the S-VID. The I-SIDs may be identified by consulting an S-VID to I-SID translation table associated with the 802.1ah I-component. The method may also include providing an 802.1ah MIRP PDU to another 802.1ah component. The MIRP PDU may be based on the MVRP TCN and on the I-SID.
