Hi all,

When customers deploy TRILL in their networks, they concern much about minimizing the disruption of their multicast service. So failure protection mechanisms are desired. Protection solutions for IP Multicast service have been developed and standardized. However, unlike unicast, multicast protection solutions cannot be reused by TRILL because TRILL-multicast is customized for TRILL. Therefore we composed the draft to provide the multicast protection suitable for TRILL.

As we know, TRILL can intrinsically calculate multiple distribution trees. In the draft, this ability is leveraged to achieve multicast protection in a way that the pay is insignificant.

We believe this work deserves our exploration. So, we would like to know, who have read this draft? 

The draft
TRILL Resilient Distribution Trees

Thanks,
