Re: [trill] Any comments on Coordinated Multicast Trees (CMT) for TRILL - draft-ietf-trill-cmt-00

Hi Ayan,

Thank you for your response.
The RFC 6325 doesn't care how to distribute the trees, but I think 
in a group as described in this draft, the ingress member RBridges 
should not use the same tree, so this draft should provide a solution 
on how to assign the trees among the member RBridges.IMO, the solution 
should take the cost between the tree roots and the ingress member 
RBridges into account.

Thanks,
Tina

Liao,

Just to get the entire context of the Section that you quote from the RFC:

   How an ingress RBridge chooses the distribution tree or trees that it
   uses for multi-destination frames is beyond the scope of this
   document.  However, for the reasons stated above, in the absence of
   other factors, a good choice is the tree whose root is least cost
   from the ingress RBridge and that is the default for an ingress
   RBridge that uses a single tree to distribute multi-destination
   frames.

The RFC clearly states that it is outside its scope and has a
suggestion regarding root choice. This draft provides the "other
factors" to influence the choice of trees.

Thanks,
Ayan
