The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'TRILL Use of IS-IS'
 (draft-ietf-isis-trill-05.txt) as a Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the IS-IS for IP Internets Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel.

A URL of this Internet Draft is:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-trill/

Technical Summary

  The IETF has standardized the TRILL protocol, which provides
  transparent Layer 2 forwarding using encapsulation with a hop count
  and IS-IS link state routing. This document specifies the data
  formats and code points for the IS-IS extensions to support TRILL.

Working Group Summary

  This document, draft-ietf-isis-ieee-aq and draft-ietf-isis-layer2 were
  originally one document.Through the review process it was
  determined that a split into a base document (draft-ietf-isis-layer2)
  and draft-ietf-isis-trill and draft-ietf-isis-ieee-aq into separate
  documents. One solution to pass layer2 information in ISIS or at
  least one specification was desired but, the IEEE and IETF have each
  defined their own mechanism. Given the divergence of solutions, a
  specification split was appropriate.

Document Quality

  There are known interoperable implementations of this technology
  based in earlier versions of the drafts. Earlier versions were based
  on additional PDUs in the ISIS protocol which have been changed
  to TLVs. It is reasonable that implementors can make the change
  and that earlier interoperation demonstrates that the solution
  is viable.

Personnel

  David Ward is the Document Shepherd for this document.
  Stewart Bryant is the Responsible Area Director.
