A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7956 Title: Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) Distributed Layer 3 Gateway Author: W. Hao, Y. Li, A. Qu, M. Durrani, P. Sivamurugan Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: September 2016 Mailbox: haoweiguo@huawei.com, liyizhou@huawei.com, laodulaodu@gmail.com, mdurrani@equinix.com, ponkarthick.sivamurugan@ipinfusion.com Pages: 28 Characters: 62104 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-trill-irb-14.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7956 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7956 The base TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) protocol provides optimal pair-wise data frame forwarding for Layer 2 intra-subnet traffic but not for Layer 3 inter-subnet traffic. A centralized gateway solution is typically used for Layer 3 inter-subnet traffic forwarding but has the following issues: 1. Sub-optimum forwarding paths for inter-subnet traffic. 2. A centralized gateway that may need to support a very large number of gateway interfaces in a Data Center, one per tenant per Data Label used by that tenant, to provide interconnect functionality for all the Layer 2 Virtual Networks in a TRILL campus. 3. A traffic bottleneck at the gateway. This document specifies an optional TRILL distributed gateway solution that resolves these centralized gateway issues. This document is a product of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
