RBridge edge nodes currently learn the mapping between MAC addresses
and their corresponding RBridge edge nodes by observing the data
packets traversed through. When ingress RBridge receives a data
packet with its destination address (MAC&VLAN) unknown, the data
packet is flooded across RBridge domain. When there are more than
one RBridge ports connected to one bridged LAN, only one of them can
be designated as AF port for forwarding/receiving traffic for the
LAN, the rest have to be blocked.
This draft describes why and how directory assisted RBridge edge can
improve TRILL network scalability in data center environment.
