Title: Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) Smart Endnodes Author: R. Perlman, F. Hu, D. Eastlake 3rd, T. Liao Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: July 2018 Mailbox: radiaperl...@gmail.com, hu.fang...@zte.com.cn, d3e...@gmail.com, liaoti...@huawei.com Pages: 17 Characters: 37374 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-trill-smart-endnodes-11.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8384 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8384 This document addresses the problem of the size and freshness of the endnode learning table in edge Routing Bridges (RBridges), by allowing endnodes to volunteer for endnode learning and encapsulation/decapsulation. Such an endnode is known as a "Smart Endnode". Only the attached edge RBridge can distinguish a "Smart Endnode" from a "normal endnode". The Smart Endnode uses the nickname of the attached edge RBridge, so this solution does not consume extra nicknames. The solution also enables endnodes that are Fine-Grained Label (FGL) aware. 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.
