Ballot Text

Technical Summary

  This document describes mechanisms for providing directory service to
   TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) edge switches.
   The directory information provided can be used in reducing multi-
   destination traffic, particularly ARP/ND and unknown unicast
   flooding. It can also be used to detect traffic with forged source
   addresses.  Directory Service can utilize either a push or a pull mechanism. 

Working Group Summary

This document is the result of 3 years of intensive discussion. 
The WG consensus was complete even if the WG discussion at the
end of the three years was "Time to send this to IESG".
