Re: [rbridge] Call for draft-tissa-trill-cmt-00 to WG draft

I disagree that this functionality is not essential to TRILL. 

Many customers I have spoken to have been disapointed that multicast does not get the same active/active advantages as unicast in TRILL.

The CMT solution has already seen a very positive response from customers I have explained it to and I am quite excited about eventually implementing this feature.

Even on Twitter yesterday they where people talking about and sharing info on this proposal.

If one of the member does't announce the virtual RBridge nickname and the Affinity sub-tlv, there may exist RPC check failure for the virtual RBridge. The issue that CMT try to solve is not an essential and key issue for trill, and CMT should be a optional solution. Some RBridges may not implement the feature. I wonder whether the CMT will does work actually because of the back compatibility issue.
