9. To: Tony Jeffree, Chair, IEEE 802
To: Tony Jeffree, Chair, IEEE Working Group cc: Paul Nikolich, Chair, IEEE 802 Paul Congdon, IEEE Liaison to the IETF Bernard Aboba, IETF Liaison to IEEE 802 Mark Townsley, IETF Internet Area Co-Director Eric Grey, IETF Liaison to IEEE Dear Tony, As you know, the IETF TRILL Working Group has been developing a protocol for devices called RBridges (Routing Bridges). We believe that the draft specification of the TRILL protocol (the protocol that is implemented by RBridges) has reached a stage of maturity where, as required by the TRILL WG Charter, it would be appropriate to request IEEE to comment on the draft, particularly from the point of view of its effect on the Ethernet Service model. The current version is available at We look forward to receiving any comments IEEE should choose to provide. Sincerely Yours, Donald Eastlake 3rd & Erik Nordmark Co-Chairs, IETF TRILL Working Group
