Abstract:
This document presents a solution suite for TRILL campuses to be
connected over WAN networks. TRILL protocol is primarily designed to
work within intra-data centers. Connecting different sites over WAN
using overlay tunnel protocols is the primary method employed at
present. Though this presents a simple mechanisms to extend TRILL
campuses over WAN networks, it also brings in the problem of
scalability for TRILL nicknames exchanged between sites, latency,
duplication of traffic etc. This draft proposes a way to extend the
TRILL sites without having the WAN network aware of TRILL campus
network and its topology. This document details on how to extend
TRILL campus sites and to establish connections between various sites
without having to exchange entire TRILL campus information, thus
reducing the information flow to the required sites only. This
document do not add or define datacenter interconnect protocol.
