Linda
I am total confused with the solution.

In section 4 of the draft, a phontom nickname is used for the ingress 
nickname when the non-rbridge nodes encapsulates the trill frame(a new 
nickname can be given to an RBridge edge node, e.g. Phantom  Nickname, to 
represent all the TRILL Encapsulating Nodes attached to the RBridge edge 
node.). But here, you said that the ingress nickname is R1's nickname.

Would you please describle the encapsulation frame format for E1 and R1? 
Thanks.

Hi,Linda 

I understand that R1 would keep the encapsulation frame from E1. There 
would bring two issues: 

(1) The remote egress RBridge could not learn the {nickname, MAC} pair by 
the data frame. 
 
[Linda] The “nickname” is Ingress’ nickname, the MAC-SA is ingress’ 
too. So the egress RBridge should be able to learn the mapping between the 
Ingress’ nickname and its MAC. Why do you say “could not”?


(2) The transit RBridges could not pass the RPF check for 
multi-destination forwarding. 
[Linda] Why? The data frame is same as if the frame is encapsulated by the 
Ingress RBridge. 
 
Linda

Hi,Linda 

When R1 receives a frame, it will check the MAC-SA, and find that it is 
from E1.  Will R1 re-encapsulate the ingress nickname from "phantom 
nickname" to N1(R1's nickname)? 
[Linda] R1 will not re-encapsulate the frame because the MAC-DA of the 
frame is R1.  R1 will terminate the MAC header and look into  the payload, 
which is a TRILL frame. R1 will put another MAC header with MAC-DA being 
the egress RBridge’s MAC and MAC-SA being its own MAC. 
  


In addition, how about the multi-destination forwarding , does the 
multi-destination forwarding support in this document? 
  
[Linda] For multi destination frames, the destination Nickname should be a 
root of multicast tree. 
  
Linda 

 
Best Regards.

Hi, Linda 

I have several comments: 

(1) We say that E1 is the "Non-RBridge Nodes", R1 is the local edge 
RBridge. E1 will encapsulate the TRILL encapsuation with the ingress 
nickname as "Phantom nickname", and  egress nickname as the nickname of 
R1(we say it N1). The encapuslation frame will be forwarded to R1. My 
question is that, how R1 know that the trill encapuslation frame is sent 
by E1(Non-RBridge node)?   
 
[Linda] There is an Ethernet header in front of the RBridge header. R1 
knows that the frame from is from E1 from the MAC-SA. 


(2) The concept of  'TRILL   Encapsulating node'' or ''Simplified RBridge' 
is defined in section 3. But it never used in the document. Is it the same 
meaning with non-RBridge nodes? 
 
[Linda] We call a non-RBridge nodes that can encapsulate TRILL header as 
“TRILL Encapsulating node”, or “Directory reliant smart end node”. We 
can finalize the term when going through the WG adoption. 
 
Linda
