Terminology
Switch Mesh Domain. This is a group of meshed switch ports exchanging
meshing protocol packets. Paths between these ports can have multiple
redundant links without creating broadcast storms.
Figure 4-2. Example of a Switch Mesh Domain in a Network
Edge Switch. This is a switch that has some ports in the switch meshing
domain and some ports outside of the domain. (See figure 4-2, above.)
