Re: [trill] TRILL Resilient Distribution Trees, who have read it?

Just wanted to say that I support this work (as a co-author).

I think this will make provisioning simpler and would allow an
operator to create multiple trees that are maximally disjoint.
In the case of fat trees, this is fairly trivial to do in a manual
way (just use different "core" RBridges as roots), but in any
other topology, this will help avoid overlapping links.
