Hi, all, I'm confused by the TCP encapsulation shown. If you place TRILL in TCP, you cannot ensure that the TRILL packets are aligned with the TCP headers. TCP is a bytestream, not message-oriented. I.e., you need to assume that TRILL packets could be split across TCP segments or multiple TRILL packets (or portions thereof) could be contained within a TCP segment. That means you will need a framing protocol that identifies the start of TRILL packets, and you should never assume that TRILL packets align with TCP segments. If you want to try to assume alignment of some sort, you need to discuss using RDMA, but that's a much bigger can of worms. Finally, regarding the IANA considerations, IMO the distinction between TRILL data and TRILL control needs to be indicated in-band, not via different port numbers. Ports should be requested only for services that are useful independently (RFC7605). (frankly, IMO, this system has gone off the rails out of control; you really ought to treat everything as running over Ethernet using the TRILL shim and call it a day; the rest should already be sufficiently handled by Ethernet-in-X encapsulation).
