Abstract:
The IETF TRILL (TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) protocol provides
least cost pair-wise data forwarding without configuration in multi-hop networks with arbitrary topology, safe
forwarding even during periods of temporary loops, and support for multipathing of both unicast
and multicast traffic. TRILL accomplishes this by using IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System)
link state routing and by encapsulating traffic using a header that includes a hop
count. Devices that implement TRILL are called "RBridges" (Routing Bridges).
