This draft addresses two problems as follows: 1) Providing connection between more than two TRILL sites that are separated by an MPLS provider network. 2) Providing a single logical virtualized TRILL network for different tenants that are separated by an MPLS provider network. Working Group Summary Vendors in the WG (Huawei, IP Infusion, and others) wanted to have this informational draft in order to provide wisdom for customers.
