Abstract:
Edge RBridges currently learn the mapping between MAC addresses and
their egress RBridges by observing the data packets traversed
through. When ingress RBridge receives a data frame with its
destination address (MAC&VLAN) unknown, the data frame is flooded
across the TRILL campus. 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 each LAN, the rest have
to be blocked for that LAN.
This draft describes the framework for using directory service to
assist edge RBridges to improve TRILL network scalability in data
center environment.
