The RBridges project is now open: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/rbridges/
This project, based on research by Radia Perlman, will deliver a new bridging mechanism into OpenSolaris. This will implement the protocols now under development in the IETF's TRILL working group. We're at the very beginning of the effort -- just now scoping out what work we'll do, and how we'll do it -- but it's obvious that there's a lot of work to be done here. If you're interested in participating, now is the time to start reading the (lengthy) background information and thinking about what parts interest you. General discussion about RBridges and TRILL on Solaris should, for now, go to the networking-discuss at opensolaris.org mailing list. The development team will meet on the rbridges-dev at opensolaris.org mailing list (open archives, but closed membership). -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
