ABSTRACT:
The designated forwarding device functionality for forwarding of packets originated on a broadcast link among layer 2 is shared among multiple forwarding devices of different adjacency networks. As these networks do not form adjacencies, the forwarding devices do not natively participate in a same spanning tree for determining how to forward packets, and a designated forwarding device is used for forwarding packets originated on the common broadcast link. Distributing the role of a designated forwarding device among multiple of the forwarding devices provides a means for more efficiently forwarding packets to their destinations.
