Technology Focus Session - Transparent Routing: RBridges and the IETF TRILL Protocol
16.25 The IETF TRILL Protocol, implemented by devices called RBridges (Routing Bridges), provides a new method for Ethernet forwarding at a new layer between routing and bridging. RBridges provide the transparency and plug and play of bridges, support VLANs and frame priorities, and provide least cost pair wise routing in arbitrary topologies supporting multipathing of both unicast and multi-destination traffic. TRILL was devised by Radia Perlman who invented the Spanning Tree Protocol and the IS-IS Routing Protocol.
TRILL improves Layer 2 scalability and RBridges can be incrementally deployed into existing bridged LANs.
Agenda:
• How TRILL and RBridges Work
• RBridge support of Data Center Bridging
• Comparison with Shortest Path Bridging
• Standardization, Interoperation, and Deployment Status
Presenters: Donald Eastlake, Co-Chairman, TRILL Working Group, IETF and Jon Hudson, Member, TRILL Working Group, IETF
