  "abstract": "This document addresses the problem of the size and freshness of the endnode learning table in edge Routing Bridges (RBridges), by allowing endnodes to volunteer for endnode learning and encapsulation/decapsulation.  Such an endnode is known as a \"Smart Endnode\".  Only the attached edge RBridge can distinguish a \"Smart Endnode\" from a \"normal endnode\".  The Smart Endnode uses the nickname of the attached edge RBridge, so this solution does not consume extra nicknames.  The solution also enables endnodes that are Fine-Grained Label (FGL) aware.",
