This encoding happens hop-by-hop. Which means when interfacing with RBridges that are not capable of understanding the proposed encoding methods, RBridges may not use the proposed encoding on those interfaces, thus maintaining the backward compatibility. This is possible because TRILL header remain unchanged and encoding happens as part of the outer header. -----Original Message----- From: ghanwani@gmail.com [mailto:ghanwani@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Anoop Ghanwani Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2012 9:16 AM To: Tissa Senevirathne (tsenevir) Cc: Donald Eastlake; rbridge@postel.org Subject: Re: [trill] [rbridge] TRILL Multi-topology encoding draft When using the outer-VLAN, while the frame format itself would be backwards compatible, I don't believe existing silicon would actually be able to make use of it. So it depends on what we mean by "backwards compatibility"? Do we need the data plane to be backwards compatible? If so, neither encoding mechanism works. Or do we need just the frame format to be backwards compatible? Then using the outer VLAN works.
