Abstract:
Edge TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) switches
currently learn the mapping between MAC addresses and their egress
TRILL switch by observing the data packets they ingress or egress or
by the TRILL ESADI (End Station Address Distribution Information)
protocol. When an ingress TRILL switch receives a data frame whose
destination address (MAC&VLAN) that switch does not know, the data
frame is flooded within the frame's VLAN across the TRILL campus.
This document describes the framework for using directory services to
assist edge RBridges in reducing multi-destination frames,
particularly unknown unicast frames flooding, and ARP/ND, thus
improving TRILL network scalability.
