Abstract for: TRILL: Data Label based Tree Selection for Multi-destination
Data

 

   TRILL uses distribution trees to deliver multi-destination frames.

   Multiple trees can be used by an ingress RBridge for flows regardless

   of the VLAN, Fine Grained Label (FGL), and/or multicast group of the

   flow. Different ingress RBridges may choose different distribution

   trees for TRILL Data packets in the same VLAN, FGL, and/or multicast

   group. To avoid unnecessary link utilization, distribution trees

   should be pruned based on VLAN and/or FGL and/or multicast

   destination address. If any VLAN, FGL, or multicast group can be sent

   on any tree, for typical fast path hardware, the amount of pruning

   information is multiplied by the number of tree; however, there is a

   limited capacity for such pruning information.
