The IETF TRILL (TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links)
protocol provides optimal pair-wise data forwarding without
configuration, safe forwarding even during periods of temporary
loops, and support for multipathing of both unicast and multicast
traffic. TRILL accomplishes this by using IS-IS (Intermediate System
to Intermediate System) link state routing and by encapsulating
traffic using a header that includes a hop count. Devices that
implement TRILL are called RBridges.

TRILL supports multi-access LAN (Local Area Network) links that can
have multiple end stations and RBridges attached. This document
describes four aspects of the TRILL LAN Hello protocol used on such
links, particularly adjacency, designated RBridge selection, and MTU
(Maximum Transmission Unit) and pseudonode procedures, with state
machines. There is no change for IS-IS point-to-point Hellos used on
links configured as point-to-point in TRILL.
