TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) is a networking protocol for optimizing bandwidth and resilience in Ethernet networks, [1] implemented by devices called TRILL switches. TRILL combines techniques from bridging and routing, and is the application of link-state routing to the VLAN -aware customer-bridging problem. [2] .

May 11, 2016 · Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) was proposed as a solution to the complexity of spanning tree. Radia Perlman realized that her bridging loop solution wouldn’t scale in modern networks. So she worked with the IEEE to solve the problem with TRILL.

Jan 10, 2024 · TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) is a networking protocol that addresses some of the limitations inherent in traditional Ethernet networks, particularly in regards to spanning tree protocols (STP).

TRILL supports the use of multiple equal-cost paths to improve throughput between two RBridges; cf 9.7 ECMP. In a high-performance datacenter, this feature is very important. Like TRILL, SPB uses IS-IS between the SPB-aware bridges to find shortest paths, and encapsulates packets with a special header as they travel between RBridges.

TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) [2] is a L2 forwarding protocol that oper-ates within one IEEE 802.1-compliant Ethernet broadcast domain.

It was designed to overcome the deficiencies of the spanning tree protocol (STP), which limits traffic to one path in the network and blocks the rest. TRILL uses the IS-IS link state routing...

TRILL is a networking protocol for optimizing bandwidth and resilience in Ethernet networks, implemented by devices called TRILL switches. TRILL combines techniques from bridging and routing, and is the application of link-state routing to the VLAN-aware customer-bridging problem.

“TRILL over IP” treats an IP network as a link connecting TRILL switch ports, thus providing a method to connected TRILL sites into a single TRILL campus. Specifies encapsulation, security, and transport considerations including congestion, MTU, fat flows, QoS, and more. Encapsulation: Important to use encapsulation with fast path support.

Feb 26, 2013 · In recent years, a great deal of time has gone into developing standards--including TRILL, SPB and DCB--that enable Layer 2 multipathing and improve Ethernet's capabilities in the virtualized data center.

Nov 30, 2023 · TRILL ("TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links") is an IETF Standard implemented by devices called RBridges (routing bridges) or TRILL Switches. TRILL combines techniques from bridging and routing and is the application of link state routing to the VLAN-aware customer-bridging problem.
