Re: [trill] I-D Action: draft-ietf-trill-over-ip-01.txt

Hi, all,

I don't see TRILL as needing a specific solution, given ethernet can 
already be bridged using IP any number of ways (including GRE or L2VPN 
approaches).

IMO, this WG would be better served to require that TRILL run over 
Ethernet, and that TRILL run where Ethernet has - and can - already be 
extended to.
