+The IETF Auto-Attach SPBM draft standard describes a compact method of using
+IEEE 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) together with a IEEE 802.1aq
+Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) network to automatically attach network devices to
+individual services in a SPB network.  The intent here is to allow network
+applications and devices using OVS to be able to easily take advantage of
+features offered by industry standard SPB networks. A fundamental element of
+the Auto-Attach feature is to map traditional VLANs onto SPB I_SIDs. These
+commands manage the Auto-Attach I-SID/VLAN mappings.
