Abstract

The IETF TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links)protocol provides least-cost pair-wise data forwarding withoutconfiguration in multi-hop networks with arbitrary topologies andlink technologies. TRILL supports multipathing of both unicast andmulticast traffic. Devices that implement the TRILL protocol arecalled TRILL switches or RBridges (Routing Bridges).

ESADI (End Station Address Distribution Information) is an optionalprotocol by which a TRILL switch can communicate, in a Data Label(VLAN or fine-grained label) scoped way, end station address andreachability information to TRILL switches participating in ESADI forthe relevant Data Label. This document updates RFC 6325,specifically the documentation of the ESADI protocol, and is notbackwards compatible.
