That's an interesting point which no one else has raised. I'm not sure
that "the changes to the RPF port calculation represent a formal
update to RFC6325". The RPF calculation is still done in generally the
same way based on the point where the packets are injected into the
distribution tree -- it's just that with centralized replication it is
injected at a tree root rather than an edge node. However, the
unicasting of multi-destination TRILL data frames from an edge node
where they were ingressed to the tree root from which they will be
distributed does appear to clearly and directly contradict RFC6325 so
I guess this draft does update RFC 6325...

Thanks,
Donald
