The IETF has standardized Transparent Interconnection of Lots
of Links (TRILL), a protocol for least-cost transparent frame routing in
multi-hop networks with arbitrary topologies and link technologies,
using link-state routing and a hop count. The TRILL base protocol
standard supports the labeling of TRILL Data packets with up to 4K IDs.
However, there are applications that require a larger number of labels
providing configurable isolation of data. This document updates RFC
6325 by specifying optional extensions to the TRILL base protocol to
safely accomplish this. These extensions, called fine-grained
labeling, are primarily intended for use in large data centers, that
is, those with more than 4K users requiring configurable data
isolation from each other.
This document is a product of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
