Abstract:
At the edg of TRILL campus, some RBridges provide end-station
services to their attached end stations; these RBridges are called
edge RBridges. To avoid potential frame duplication or loops in
TRILL campus, only one edge RBridge is permitted to provide such
services in a VLAN at all times to its attached end stations even
they are also attached to other edge RBridges. However, in some
application scenarios, for example in Link Aggregation Group (LAG),
more than one edge RBridge is required to provide such services to an
end station even in a VLAN to improve resiliency and maximize the
available network bandwidth, which causes the flip-flopping of the
egress RBridge nickname for such an end station in remote RBridges'
forwarding tables. In this document, the concept of Virtual RBridge,
along with its pseudo-nickname, is introduced to address the above
problem.
