I think you are talking about TRILL Data traffic so I would avoid using the word "ingress" here. In TRILL "ingress" normally refers to receiving native traffic, not TRILL Data frames. > For e.g RB1 has two interfaces hence it has two RPF entries and RB2, > RB5 will have 3 RPF entries since it has 3 interfaces or to state > the number of RPF entries on each RBridges depends on the number of > ports that are part of the multicast trees on that particular > RBridge. TRILL does not constrain how the RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding) Check entries are organized. If you think about it as a lookup under the triple { tree number; port; ingress RBridge nickname } that returns a boolean, then there are a lot more entries than you are talking about. In this case (number of ports)*(number of trees)*(number of possible ingress RBridges) or (number of ports)*30. If you think about it as a lookup under the double { tree number; ingress RBridge nicknme } that returns the expected receiving port that you then compare with the actul receiving port for the check, then there are 30 entries at each RBridge in your example. (This assumes that no RBridge is announcing the trees it is using as a subset of the computed trees. If one does, it reduces the RPF Check information.) Other methods are possible.
