Abstract:
Edge RBridges currently learn the mapping between MAC addresses
and their egress RBridges by observing the data packets traversed
or by the TRILL ESADI protocol. When ingress RBridge receives a
data frame whose destination address (MAC&VLAN) that RBridge does
not know, the data frame is flooded within the VLAN across the
TRILL campus.
This draft describes the framework for using directory services
to assist edge RBridges by reducing multi-destination frames,
particularly unknown unicast frames flooding, and ARP/ND,
improving TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links)
network scalability in environments such as data centers.
