In this document, we specified a method to achieve multilevel of TRILL. It belongs to the category of "aggregated nicknames" as covered by draft-perlman-trill-rbridge-multilevel-09. 

For this method, border RBridges do not need to additionally assign, in L2, a pseudonode nickname for the L1 area. Each border RBridge directly uses its L1 nickname as an L2 nickname. In this way, we do not have the RPFC issue.

Thanks,
Mingui

>Abstract:
>   A major issue in multilevel TRILL is how to manage RBridge nicknames.
>   In this document, the area border RBridge uses a single nickname in
>   both Level 1 and Level 2. RBridges in Level 2 must obtain unique
>   nicknames but RBridges in different Level 1 areas may have the same
>   nicknames.
