This document describes mechanisms to optimize the Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) and Neighbor Discovery (ND) traffic in a Transparent
Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) campus. TRILL switches
maintain a cache of IP / Media Access Control (MAC) address / Data
Label bindings that are learned from ARP/ND requests and responses
that pass through them. In many cases, this cache allows an edge
Routing Bridge (RBridge) to avoid flooding an ARP/ND request by
either responding to it directly or encapsulating it and unicasting
it. Such optimization reduces packet flooding over a TRILL campus.
This document is a product of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track

for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
