Based on the approval of draft-ietf-trill-fine-labeling, the directory
framework document should mention TRILL Fine Grained Labels.

Thanks,

Abstract


   Edge TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) switches
   currently learn the mapping between MAC addresses and their egress
   TRILL switch by observing the data packets they ingress or egress or
   by the TRILL ESADI (End Station Address Distribution Information)
   protocol. When an ingress TRILL switch receives a data frame whose
   destination address (MAC&VLAN) that switch does not know, the data
   frame is flooded within the frame's VLAN across the TRILL campus.

   This document describes the framework for using directory services to
   assist edge RBridges in reducing multi-destination frames,
   particularly unknown unicast frames flooding, and ARP/ND, thus
   improving TRILL network scalability.
