The IESG has received a request from the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links WG (trill) to consider the following document: - 'TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links): Edge Directory Assistance Framework' <draft-ietf-trill-directory-framework-05.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-07-18. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Edge TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) switches currently learn the mapping between MAC addresses and their egress TRILL switch by observing the data packets they ingress or egress or by the TRILL ESADI (End Station Address Distribution Information) protocol. When an ingress TRILL switch receives a data frame whose destination address (MAC&VLAN) that switch does not know, the data frame is flooded within the frame's VLAN across the TRILL campus. This document describes the framework for using directory services to assist edge RBridges in reducing multi-destination frames, particularly unknown unicast frames flooding, and ARP/ND, thus improving TRILL network scalability.
