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.
