Figure 8
ND MAD application scenario
Each IRF member device compares the domain ID and the active ID in incoming NS packets with its
domain ID and active ID:
If the domain IDs are different, the NS packet is from a different IRF fabric, and the device does not
continue to process the packet with the MAD mechanism.
If the domain IDs are the same, the device compares the active IDs:
{
If the active IDs are different, the IRF fabric has split.
{
If the active IDs are the same, the IRF fabric is integrated.
