Abstract

The IETF TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links)protocol provides support for flow-level multipathing for bothunicast and multi-destination traffic in networks with arbitrarytopology. Active-active access at the TRILL edge is the extension ofthese characteristics to end stations that are multiply connected toa TRILL campus as discussed in RFC 7379. In this document, the edgeRBridge (Routing Bridge, or TRILL switch) group providingactive-active access to such an end station is represented as avirtual RBridge. Based on the concept of the virtual RBridge, alongwith its pseudo-nickname, this document specifies a method for TRILLactive-active access by such end stations.
