Ballot Text

Technical Summary

  The TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) protocol
   supports both point-to-point and multi-access links and is designed
   so that a variety of link protocols can be used between TRILL switch
   ports. This document specifies transmission of encapsulated TRILL
   data and TRILL IS-IS over IP (v4 or v6) transport. so as to use an IP
   network as a TRILL link in a unified TRILL campus. This document
   updates RFC 7177 and updates RFC 7178.

Working Group Summary

Consensus is strong with one outlier: Joe Touch
regarding use of IPSEC + TCP/UDP
See mail thread: 
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/trill/current/msg08185.html

Why did we choose this approach: 
In our working group investigation of this draft, 
the WG was visited by vendors implementing TRILL
(most noteable at IETF 91).   The vendors requested 
the IPSEC + Transport approach.  
While there are other approaches, no 
vendor of TRILL equipment has requested the other approach. 

Document Quality

   Are there existing implementations of the protocol?  See comments
   above: hardware vendors looking for line rate speed
  came to IETF 91 to give feedback to TRILL. 
  These vendors were in addition to the Huawei and IPInfusion implementations.
