Technical Summary
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) defines a Link Control
Protocol (LCP) and a method for negotiating the use of
multi-protocol traffic over point-to-point links. This
document describes PPP support for Transparent Interconnection
of Lots of Links (TRILL) Protocol, allowing direct
communication between Routing Bridges (RBridges) via PPP
links.
Working Group Summary
There is consensus in the WG to publish this document. There
was some discussion in the working group about IS-IS System
IDs, and the draft reflects the consensus.
Note that the document author is the working group chair.
There is no document shepherd due to this, and the responsible
Area Director has verified that WG discussions were conducted
properly and that there was consensus to send the document
forward.
Document Quality
There is a long list of vendors implementing TRILL, but at
this point there are none that have announced support for
TRILL over PPP. The PPP extensions described here are
trivial, and the overall system implementation issues have
been discussed in detail with several of the TRILL WG
participants. No significant implementation, deployment, or
interoperability concerns exist.
Significant reviewers include Bill Simpson, Donald Eastlake,
and Vern Schryver.
Personnel
There is no Document Shepherd. The responsible
Area Director is Jari Arkko.
