Hi,

Although I am not a PPP expert, I think this draft looks pretty good.
Now that TRILL has been approved as a Proposed Standard,  I think this
draft should be advanced.

However, I do have a question on one sentence:
In Section 3 on Page 4, numbered item 2, the following sentence occurs:
               If the peer is an RBridge, then there is no need to
      pass unencapsulated frames nor to any TRILL-ignorant peer to be
      concerned about.

I assume that most of the end of this sentence shouldn't be there...

Thanks,
Donald
