INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS
1. Introduction
The IETF Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL)
protocol [RFC6325] [RFC7177] [RFC7780] provides transparent
forwarding in multi-hop networks with arbitrary topology and link
technologies using a header with a hop count and link-state routing.
TRILL provides optimal pair-wise forwarding without configuration,
safe forwarding even during periods of temporary loops, and support
for multipathing of both unicast and multicast traffic. Intermediate
Systems (ISs) implementing TRILL are called Routing Bridges
(RBridges) or TRILL Switches
This draft, in conjunction with [RFC7173] on TRILL Transport using
Pseudowires, addresses two problems:
1) Providing connection between more than two TRILL sites belongs to
a single TRILL network that are separated by an MPLS provider
network using [RFC7173]. (Herein also called problem statement 1.)
2) Providing a single logical virtualized TRILL network for different
tenants that are separated by an MPLS provider network. In short
providing connection between TRILL sites belonging to a
tenant/tenants over a MPLS provider network. (Herein also called
problem statement 2.)
A tenant is the administrative entity on whose behalf their
associated services are managed. Here tenant refers to a TRILL campus
that is segregated from other tenants for security reasons.
A key multi-tenancy requirement is traffic isolation so that one
tenant's traffic is not visible to any other tenant. This draft also
addresses the problem of multi-tenancy by isolating one tenant's
traffic from the other.

2. TRILL Over MPLS Model
TRILL Over MPLS can be achieved in two different ways.
a) VPLS Model for TRILL
b) VPTS Model/TIR Model
Both these models can be used to solve the problem statement 1 and 2.
M.Umair, K.Smiler et al. [Page 5]
INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS
Herein the VPLS Model for TRILL is also called Model 1 and the VPTS
Model/TIR Model is also called Model 2.
3. VPLS Model
Figure 1 shows the topological model of TRILL over MPLS using VPLS
model. The PE routers in the below topology model should support all
the functional Components mentioned in [RFC4664].

Virtual Service Instances that segregate Tenant1's traffic from other
tenant traffic. VSI1 will maintain its own database for Tenant1,
similarly VSI2 will maintain its own database for Tenant2.

Figure 2: Topological Model for VPLS Model
connecting 2 Tenants with 3 sites each
In this model, TRILL sites are connected to VPLS-capable PE devices
that provide a logical interconnect, such that TRILL RBridges
belonging to a specific tenant connected via an single bridged
Ethernet. These devices are the same as PE devices specified in
[RFC4026]. The Attachment Circuit ports of PE Routers are layer 2
switch ports that are connected to the RBridges at a TRILL site. Here
each VPLS instance looks like an emulated LAN. This model is similar
to connecting different RBridges (TRILL sites) by a layer 2 bridge
domain (multi access link) as specified in [RFC6325]. This model
doesn't requires any changes in PE routers to carry TRILL packets, as
TRILL packets will be transferred transparently.
3.1. Entities in the VPLS Model
The PE (VPLS-PE) and CE devices are defined in [RFC4026].
The Generic L2VPN Transport Functional Components like Attachment
Circuits, Pseudowires, VSI etc. are defined in [RFC4664].
The RB (RBridge) and TRILL Sites are defined in [RFC6325] as updated
by [RFC7780].
M.Umair, K.Smiler et al. [Page 7]
INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS
3.3. TRILL Adjacency for VPLS model
As specified in section 3 of this document, the MPLS cloud looks like
an emulated LAN (also called multi-access link or broadcast link).
This results in RBridges at different sites looking like they are
connected by a multi-access link. With such interconnection, the
TRILL adjacency over the link are automatically discovered and
established through TRILL IS-IS control messages [RFC7177]. These IS-
IS control messages are transparently forwarded by the VPLS domain,
after doing MPLS encapsulation specified in the section 3.4.
3.4. MPLS encapsulation for VPLS model
Use of VPLS [RFC4762] [RFC4761] to interconnect TRILL sites requires
no changes to a VPLS implementation, in particular the use of
Ethernet pseudowires between VPLS PEs. A VPLS PE receives normal
Ethernet frames from an RBridge (i.e., CE) and is not aware that the
CE is an RBridge device. As an example, an MPLS-encapsulated TRILL
packet within the MPLS network can use the format illustrated in
Appendix A of [RFC7173] for the non-PBB case. For the PBB case,
additional header fields illustrated in [RFC7041] can be added by
entry PE and removed by the exit PE.
3.5. Loop Free provider PSN/MPLS
No explicit handling is required to avoid loop free topology. Split
Horizon technique specified in [RFC4664] will take care of avoiding
loops in the provider PSN network.
3.6. Frame Processing
The PE devices transparently process the TRILL control and data
frames. Procedures to forward the frames are defined in [RFC4664].
4. VPTS Model
The VPTS (Virtual Private TRILL Service) is a L2 TRILL service, that
emulates TRILL service across a Wide Area Network (WAN). VPTS is
similar to what VPLS does for bridge core but provides a TRILL core.
VPLS provides "Virtual Private LAN Service" for different customers.
VPTS provides "Virtual Private TRILL Service" for different TRILL

INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS
tenants.
Figure 3 shows the topological model of TRILL over MPLS using VPTS.
In this model the PE routers are replaced with TIR (TRILL
Intermediate Router) and VSI is replaced with VTSD (Virtual TRILL
Switch Domain). The TIR devices must be capable of supporting both
MPLS and TRILL as specified in section 4.1.1. The TIR devices are
interconnected via PWs and appear as a unified emulated TRILL campus
with each VTSD inside a TIR equivalent to a RBridge.
Some of the reasons for interconnecting TRILL Sites without isolating
the TRILL Control plane of one TRILL site from other sites are as
described below.
1) Nickname Uniqueness: One of the basic requirements of TRILL is
that, RBridge Nicknames are unique within the campus [RFC6325]. If
we segregate control plane of one TRILL site from other TRILL site
and provide interconnection between these sites, it may result in
Nickname collision.
2) Distribution Tree and its pruning: When a TRILL Data packet
traverses a Distribution Tree, it will stay on it even in other
TRILL site. If no end-station service is enabled for a particular
Data Label in a TRILL site, the Distribution Tree may be pruned
and TRILL data packets of that particular Data Label might never
get to other TRILL sites. The TRILL RPF check will always be
performed on the packets that are received by TIRs through
pseudowires.
3) Hop Count values: When a TRILL data packet is received over a
pseudowire by a TIR, the TIR does the processing of Hop Count
defined in [RFC6325] and will not perform any resetting of Hop
Count.

Figure 3: Topological Model of VPTS/TIR
connecting three TRILL Sites
In the above figure (Figure 3) Site1, Site2 and Site3 (running the
TRILL protocol) are connected to TIR Devices. These TIR devices,
along with the MPLS cloud, look like an unified emulated TRILL
network. Only the PE devices in the MPLS network should be
replaced with TIRs so the intermediate Provider routers are
agnostic to the TRILL protocol.
Figure 4 below extends the topological model of TRILL over MPLS to
connect multiple TRILL sites belonging to a tenant (tenant here is
a campus, not a Data label) using VPTS model. VTSD1 and VTSD2 are
two Virtual TRILL Switch Domains (Virtual RBridges) that segregate
Tenant1's traffic from Tenant2's traffic. VTSD1 will maintain its
own TRILL database for Tenant1, similarly VTSD2 will maintain its
own TRILL database for Tenant2.

Figure 4: Topological Model of VPTS/TIR
connecting 2 tenants with three TRILL Sites
4.1. Entities in the VPTS Model
The CE devices are defined in [RFC4026].
The Generic L2VPN Transport Functional Components like Attachment
Circuits, Pseudowires etc. are defined in [RFC4664].
The RB (RBridge) and TRILL Campus are defined in [RFC6325] as updated
by [RFC7780].
This model introduces two new entities called TIR and VTSD.
4.1.1. TRILL Intermediate Routers (TIR)
The TIRs (TRILL Intermediate Routers) must be capable of running both
VPLS and TRILL protocols. TIR devices are a superset of the VPLS-PE
devices defined in [RFC4026] with the additional functionality of
TRILL. The VSI instance that provides transparent bridging
functionality in the PE device is replaced with VTSD in a TIR.
4.1.2. Virtual TRILL Switch/Service Domain (VTSD)
The VTSD (Virtual Trill Switch Domain) is similar to VSI (layer 2
bridge) in the VPLS model, but the VTSD acts as a TRILL RBridge. The
VTSD is a superset of VSI and must support all the functionality
provided by the VSI as defined in [RFC4026]. Along with VSI
functionality, the VTSD must be capable of supporting TRILL protocols
and forming TRILL adjacencies. The VTSD must be capable of performing
all the operations that a standard TRILL Switch can do.
One VTSD instance per tenant must be maintained, when multiple
tenants are connected to a TIR. The VTSD must maintain all the
information maintained by the RBridge on a per tenant basis. The VTSD
must also take care of segregating one tenant traffic from other.
M.Umair, K.Smiler et al. [Page 11]
INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS
Each VTSD should have its own nickname, If a TIR supports 10 TRILL
tenants, it needs to be assigned with ten TRILL nicknames, one for
the nickname space of each of its tenants, and run ten copies of
TRILL protocols, one for each tenant.
4.2. TRILL Adjacency for VPTS model
The VTSD must be capable of forming TRILL adjacency with other VTSDs
present in its peer VPTS neighbor, and also the neighbor RBridges
present in the TRILL sites. The procedure to form TRILL Adjacency is
specified in [RFC7173] and [RFC7177].
4.3. MPLS encapsulation for VPTS model
The VPTS model uses PPP or Ethernet pseudowires for MPLS
encapsulation as specified in [RFC7173], and requires no changes in
the packet format in that RFC.
4.4. Loop Free provider PSN/MPLS
This model isn't required to employ Split Horizon mechanism in the
provider PSN network, as TRILL takes care of Loop free topology using
Distribution Trees. Any multi-destination packet will traverse a
distribution tree path. All distribution trees are calculated based
on TRILL base protocol standard [RFC6325] as updated by [RFC7780].
4.5. Frame Processing
This section specifies multi-destination and unicast frame processing
in VPTS/TIR model.
4.5.1. Multi-Destination Frame Processing
Any multi-destination (unknown unicast, multicast or broadcast, as
indicated by multi-destination bit in the TRILL Header) packets
inside VTSD will be processed or forwarded through the distribution
tree for which they were encapsulated on TRILL ingress. If any multi-
destination packet is received from the wrong pseudowire at a VTSD,
the TRILL protocol running in the VTSD will perform an RPF check as
specified in [RFC7780] and drop the packet.
M.Umair, K.Smiler et al. [Page 12]
INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS
The Pruning mechanism in Distribution Trees, as specified in
[RFC6325] and [RFC7780], can also be used to avoid forwarding of
multi-destination data packets on the branches where there are no
potential destinations.
4.5.2. Unicast Frame Processing
Unicast packets must be forwarded in same way they get forwarded in a
standard TRILL Campus as specified in [RFC6325]. If multiple equal
cost paths are available over pseudowires to reach destination, then
VTSD should be capable of doing ECMP for them.
5. Extensions to TRILL Over Pseudowires [RFC7173]
The [RFC7173] mentions how to interconnect a pair of Transparent
Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) switch ports using
pseudowires. This document explains, how to connect multiple TRILL
sites (not limited to only two sites) using the mechanisms and
encapsulations defined in [RFC7173].
6. VPTS Model Versus VPLS Model
VPLS Model uses a simpler loop-breaking rule: the "split horizon"
rule, where a PE must not forward traffic from one PW to another in
the same VPLS mesh, whereas the VPTS Model uses distribution Trees
for loop free topology.
7. Packet Processing Between Pseudowires
Whenever a packet gets received over a pseudowire, a VTSD will
decapsulate the MPLS headers followed by checking the TRILL header.
If the egress nickname in the TRILL header is for a TRILL site
located beyond another pseudowire, then VTSD will encapsulate with
new MPLS headers and send it across the proper pseudowire.
For example in figure 3, consider that the pseudowire between TIR1
and TIR2 fails, Then TIR1 will communicate with TIR2 via TIR3,
whenever packets which are destined to TIR3 gets received from
pseudowire between TIR1 and TIR3, VTSD inside TIR3 will decapsulate
M.Umair, K.Smiler et al. [Page 13]
INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS
the MPLS headers, then check the TRILL header's egress nickname
field. If the egress nickname indicate it is destained for the
RBridge in site3 then the packet will be sent to RBc, if the egress
nickname is located at site2, VTSD will add MPLS headers for the
pseudowire between TIR3 and TIR2 and forward the packet on that
pseudowire.
M.Umair, K.Smiler et al. [Page 14]
INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS
8. Efficiency Considerations
Since the VPTS Model uses Distribution trees for processing of multi-
destination data packets, it is always advisable to have at least one
Distribution tree root to be located in every TRILL site. This will
avoid data packets getting received at TRILL sites where end-station
service is not enabled for that data packet.
9. Security Considerations
For general TRILL security considerations, see [RFC6325]
For transport of TRILL by Pseudowires security consideration, see
[RFC7173].
For general VPLS security considerations, see [RFC4761] and [RFC4762]
