My apologies for not knowing TRILL well. I found this text, A Push Directory also advertises whether or not it believes it has pushed complete mapping information for a Data Label. to be odd ("directories believe things?"), and I'm wondering what that belief would be based on. If a Push Directory has pushed all the information it's currently storing, is that what's being described here? Or does this mean something else? In section 2.3.1, there are several states that refer to "enough time for propagation" - for example, Active Completing <S4>: Same behavior as the Active state except that the server responds differently to events. The purpose of this state is to be sure there has been enough time for directory information to propagate to subscribing edge TRILL switches before the Directory Server advertises that the information is complete. Is it possible to provide a pointer or reference that describes how "enough time" is calculated? I'm not sure whether this is referring to PushDirTimer in Section 2.7 or something else. It's a nit, but I think this text, TRILL switches, whether or not they are a Push Directory server, should be something like TRILL switches, whether or not they are Push Directory servers, - there's a numbering mismatch. I think this text, Thus, there is commonly a small window during which the an RBridge using directory information might either (1) drop or unnecessarily flood a frame as having an unknown unicast destination or (2) encapsulate a frame to an edge RBridge where the end station is not longer connected when the frame arrives at that edge RBridge. is garbled (somewhere around "during which the an RBridge"). In this text, Support of TRILL ES-IS is generally optional for both the TRILL switches and the end stations on a link but may be required to support certain features. can you give any guidance to the reader on how to know whether TRILL ES-IS support is required for a feature? _______________________________________________ trill mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/trill
