The IESG has approved the following document: - 'TRILL Active-Active Edge Using Multiple MAC Attachments' (draft-ietf-trill-aa-multi-attach-06.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-trill-aa-multi-attach/ Technical Summary TRILL active-active service provides end stations with flow level load balance and resilience against link failures at the edge of TRILL campuses as described in RFC 7379. This draft specifies a method by which member RBridges in an active-active edge RBridge group use their own nicknames as the ingress RBridge nickname to encapsulate frames from attached end systems. Thus, remote edge RBridges are required to keep multiple point of attachment for one MAC address within a Data Label. Working Group Summary Although early discussion in the TRILL WG favored a pseudo-node nickname approach similar to that in draft-ietf-trill-pseudonode- nickname, later analysis resulting in the alternatives described in the Introduction of this document. Two alternatives, which can be deployed simultaneously in a TRILL campus, are being advanced by the WG, the other using a pseudo-nickname in draft-ietf-trill- pseudonode-nickname. There was good WG support for this draft in WG LC (2/11-2/25) Document Quality The document is well written. Personnel Document Shepherd: Donald E. Eastlake, 3rd Responsible Area Director: Alia Atlas WG chairs: Susan Hares, Jon Hudson
