Thank you for letting me know about this problem.  I will work with the authors 
to address it.

11/25)

 

Sue,

 

I found that this draft has several places where interoperability between 
implementations could be difficult because there are several implementation 
choices that can be made, and the draft doesn’t make any particular 
recommendations or require any of the choices to be implemented.

 

1. There are two models defined, the VPLS and VPTS models, and the draft 
doesn’t recommend which to use for each of the two problem statements. If it 
were me, I would recommend the VPTS model as the default, as it is an emulated 
TRILL service.

 

2. When using the VPTS model, section 4.3 says that either the PPP or Ethernet 
encapsulation from RFC 7173 can be used, and makes no recommendation between 
them. However, RFC 7173 defines the PPP encapsulation as the chosen default, 
and that encapsulation should be used here as well.

 

I recommend that these be addressed before the draft is sent to the IESG.

 

Thanks,

Andy

This begins a 2 week WG LC for draft-ietf-trill-transport-over-MPLS (11/11/2017 
to 11/25/2017).  Please consider if this draft is ready for publication.   In 
this consideration please consider:

 

1)      Does TRILL need to run over MPLS?  Some data centers are interconnected 
over MPLS.  Does this capability aid in deployment of TRILL?

2)      Is this specification ready for publication?  

3)      Do you know of any problems with this specification?
