The IETF TRILL (TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links)
protocol provides least cost pair-wise data forwarding without
configuration in multi-hop networks with arbitrary topologies and
safe forwarding even during periods of temporary loops. TRILL
supports the multi-pathing of both unicast and multicast traffic.
TRILL accomplishes this by using the IS-IS (Intermediate System to
Intermediate System) link state routing protocol and encapsulating
traffic using a header that includes a hop count.
The ESADI (End System Address Distribution Information) protocol is a
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) scoped way that RBridge can
communicate end station addresses to each other. An RBridge
announcing VLAN-x connectivity (normally a VLAN-x forwarder) and
running the TRILL ESADI protocol can receive remote address
information and/or transmit local address information for VLAN-x to
other such RBridges. This document updates RFC 6325, particularly
the documentation of the ESADI protocol.
