Abstract
Systems and methods may be provided embodying an optimized Trill LAN network hello mode. The optimized hello mode may allow the number of LAN hellos exchanged to be reduced significantly in a steady state mode of operation. No modifications to the current Trill specification are needed and in a converged state (when designated RBridge election and appointed forwarder appointments are complete), only 1 hello PDU per RBridge is originated in every hello interval.
