Silvano/Radia/Donald/Erik/Dinesh,

Based on an inconsistency pointed out during a review, I need to make
some of the terminology definitions more consistent.

I propose changing the following two definitions - 

   o  Egress RBridge: for any specific frame, the RBridge through 
      which that frame leaves the TRILL Campus. For frames 
      transiting a TRILL Campus, the egress RBridge is an edge 
      RBridge where RBridge encapsulation is removed from the 
      transit frames prior to exiting the TRILL Campus. 

   o	Ingress RBridge: for any specific frame, the RBridge through 
      which that frame enters the TRILL Campus. For frames 
      transiting a TRILL Campus, the ingress RBridge is the edge 
      RBridge where RBridge encapsulation is added to the transit 
      traffic entering the TRILL Campus.  

- to read as follows:

   o  Egress RBridge: for any specific frame, the RBridge at which 
      the TRILL header is removed from the frame prior to delivery
      to an end station (possibly via a LAN).  

   o  Ingress RBridge: for any specific frame, the RBridge at which 
      a TRILL header is added to the frame prior to being forwarded
      to one or more other RBridges. 

Is this change okay with you?
