The IESG has approved the following document: - 'TRILL: ARP/ND Optimization' (draft-ietf-trill-arp-optimization-09.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-trill-arp-optimization/ Technical Summary This document describes mechanisms to optimize the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) and ND (Neighbor Discovery) traffic in TRILL campus. Such optimization reduces packet flooding over a TRILL campus. This WG Draft is part of a directory service solution that has been discussed for 3 years. Consensus is strong on the complete solution. This was sent back to the WG to resolve Discusses about SEND & the draft is now believed to do that. Document Quality a) Are there existing implementations of the protocol? No, and this draft is part of a 4 draft directory service dealing with directory services. The four drafts are: draft-ietf-trill-directory-assist-mechanisms () - describes the push/pull draft-ietf-trill-channel-tunnel-05 - secure tunnel for directory push draft-ietf-trill-ia-appsubtlv-05 - reporting of addresses for TRILL interfaces in ISIS application sub-TLV (reduces/replaces need for ARP/ND ) draft-ietf-trill-arp-optimization - mechanism to optimize ARP and ND traffic on TRILL campus b) Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Directory service mechanism are currently implemented as proprietary fashions by every vendor that does some variant of TRILL (cisco, brocade, Huawei and others). Until we get a full standard solution approved, the existing vendors with "early TRILL" implementations have little reason to switch. Huawei is planning implementations. Potentially Brocade and Cisco could switch to these mechanisms, but unless IETF standards are out as a set - this may not occur.
