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?
