This document presents a solution suite for TRILL data center sites
to be connected over WAN networks. TRILL protocol is primarily
designed to work within intra-data centers. Connecting different
sites over WAN using overlay tunnel protocols is the primary method
employed at present. Though this presents a simple mechanism to
extend the LAN sites to be interconnected, it also brings in the
problem of scalability for TRILL nicknames exchanged between sites,
latency, duplication of traffic etc. This draft proposes a way to
extend the TRILL sites without having to reveal the data of the LAN
like customer MAC's or provide MAC's over the WAN, but to establish
connections between various sites by extending routing protocol to
exchange minimal information, thus reducing the information flow to
the required sites only. Document also proposes BGP routing protocol
extensions as an example to establish paths and information about the
essential RBridges nicknames, over WAN networks like MPLS.
