The IETF TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links)
protocol provides support for flow-level multipathing for both
unicast and multi-destination traffic in networks with arbitrary
topology. Active-active access at the TRILL edge is the extension of
these characteristics to end stations that are multiply connected to
a TRILL campus as discussed in RFC 7379. In this document, the edge
RBridge (Routing Bridge, or TRILL switch) group providing
active-active access to such an end station is represented as a
virtual RBridge. Based on the concept of the virtual RBridge, along
with its pseudo-nickname, this document specifies a method for TRILL
active-active access by such end stations.
This document is a product of the Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links
Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
