Introduction The IETF Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) protocol [RFC6325] [RFC7177] [RFC7780] provides transparent forwarding in multi-hop networks with arbitrary topology and link technologies using a header with a hop count and link-state routing. TRILL provides optimal pair-wise forwarding without configuration, safe forwarding even during periods of temporary loops, and support for multipathing of both unicast and multicast traffic. Intermediate Systems (ISs) implementing TRILL are called Routing Bridges (RBridges) or TRILL Switches This draft, in conjunction with [RFC7173] on TRILL Transport using Pseudowires, addresses two problems: 1) Providing connection between more than two TRILL sites belongs to a single TRILL network that are separated by an MPLS provider network using [RFC7173]. (Herein also called problem statement 1.) 2) Providing a single logical virtualized TRILL network for different tenants that are separated by an MPLS provider network. In short providing connection between TRILL sites belonging to a tenant/tenants over a MPLS provider network. (Herein also called problem statement 2.) A tenant is the administrative entity on whose behalf their associated services are managed. Here tenant refers to a TRILL campus that is segregated from other tenants for security reasons. A key multi-tenancy requirement is traffic isolation so that one tenant's traffic is not visible to any other tenant. This draft also addresses the problem of multi-tenancy by isolating one tenant's traffic from the other. 1.1.

M.Umair, K.Smiler et al.Expires December 5, 2017 [Page 5] INTERNET DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 3, 2017 a) VPLS Model for TRILL b) VPTS Model/TIR Model Both these models can be used to solve the problem statement 1 and 2. Herein the VPLS Model for TRILL is also called Model 1 and the VPTS Model/TIR Model is also called Model 2. 3. VPLS Model Figure 1 shows the topological model of TRILL over MPLS using VPLS model. The PE routers in the below topology model should support all the functional Components mentioned in [RFC4664]. +-----+ +-----+ | RBa +---+ ........................... +---| RBb | +-----+ | . . | +-----+ Site 1 | +----+ +----+ | Site 2 +----|PE1 | |PE2 |----+ +----+ MPLS Cloud +----+ . . . +----+ . ..........|PE3 |........... +----+ ^ | | | +-- Emulated LAN +-----+ | RBc | +-----+ Site 3 Figure 1: Topological Model of TRILL over MPLS connecting three TRILL Sites Figure 2 below shows the topological model of TRILL over MPLS to connect multiple TRILL sites belonging to a tenant (tenant here is a TRILL campus, not a specific Data label). VSI1 and VSI2 are two Virtual Service Instances that segregate Tenant1's traffic from other tenant traffic. VSI1 will maintain its own database for Tenant1, similarly VSI2 will maintain its own database for Tenant2.

VSI1 Path ++++ VSI2 Path Figure 2: Topological Model for VPLS Model connecting 2 Tenants with 3 sites each In this model, TRILL sites are connected to VPLS-capable PE devices that provide a logical interconnect, such that TRILL RBridges belonging to a specific tenant connected via an single bridged Ethernet. These devices are the same as PE devices specified in [RFC4026]. The Attachment Circuit ports of PE Routers are layer 2 switch ports that are connected to the RBridges at a TRILL site. Here each VPLS instance looks like an emulated LAN. This model is similar to connecting different RBridges (TRILL sites) by a layer 2 bridge domain (multi access link) as specified in [RFC6325]. This model doesn't requires any changes in PE routers to carry TRILL packets, as TRILL packets will be transferred transparently. 3.1. Entities in the VPLS Model The PE (VPLS-PE) and CE devices are defined in [RFC4026]. The Generic L2VPN Transport Functional Components like Attachment Circuits, Pseudowires, VSI etc. are defined in [RFC4664]. The RB (RBridge) and TRILL Sites are defined in [RFC6325] as updated by [RFC7780]. M.Umair, K.Smiler et al.Expires December 5, 2017 [Page 7] INTERNET DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 3, 2017 3.3. TRILL Adjacency for VPLS model As specified in section 3 of this document, the MPLS cloud looks like an emulated LAN (also called multi-access link or broadcast link). This results in RBridges at different sites looking like they are connected by a multi-access link. With such interconnection, the TRILL adjacency over the link are automatically discovered and established through TRILL IS-IS control messages [RFC7177]. These IS-IS control messages are transparently forwarded by the VPLS domain, after doing MPLS encapsulation specified in the section 3.4. 3.4. MPLS encapsulation for VPLS model Use of VPLS [RFC4762] [RFC4761] to interconnect TRILL sites requires no changes to a VPLS implementation, in particular the use of Ethernet pseudowires between VPLS PEs. A VPLS PE receives normal Ethernet frames from an RBridge (i.e., CE) and is not aware that the CE is an RBridge device. As an example, an MPLS-encapsulated TRILL packet within the MPLS network can use the format illustrated in Appendix A of [RFC7173] for the non-PBB case. For the PBB case, additional header fields illustrated in [RFC7041] can be added by entry PE and removed by the exit PE. 3.5. Loop Free provider PSN/MPLS. No explicit handling is required to avoid loop free topology. Split Horizon technique specified in [RFC4664] will take care of avoiding loops in the provider PSN network. 3.6. Frame processing. The PE devices transparently process the TRILL control and data frames. Procedures to forward the frames are defined in [RFC4664] 4. VPTS Model The (Virtual Private TRILL Service) VPTS is a L2 TRILL service, that emulates TRILL service across a Wide Area Network (WAN). VPTS is similar to what VPLS does for bridge core but provides a TRILL core. VPLS provides "Virtual Private LAN Service" for different customers. VPTS provides "Virtual Private TRILL Service" for different TRILL tenants. Figure 3 shows the topological model of TRILL over MPLS using VPTS. In this model the PE routers are replaced with TIR (TRILL Intermediate Router) and VSI is replaced with VTSD (Virtual TRILL Switch Domain). The M.Umair, K.Smiler et al.Expires December 5, 2017 [Page 8] INTERNET DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 3, 2017 TIR devices must be capable of supporting both MPLS and TRILL as specified in section 4.1.1. The TIR devices are interconnected via PWs and appear as a unified emulated TRILL campus with each VTSD inside a TIR equivalent to a RBridge. Some of the reasons for interconnecting TRILL Sites without isolating the TRILL Control plane of one TRILL site from other sites are as described below. 1) Nickname Uniqueness: One of the basic requirements of TRILL is that, RBridge Nicknames are unique within the campus [RFC6325]. If we segregate control plane of one TRILL site from other TRILL site and provide interconnection between these sites, it may result in Nickname collision. 2) Distribution Tree and its pruning: When a TRILL Data packet traverses a Distribution Tree, it will stay on it even in other TRILL site. If no end-station service is enabled for a particular Data Label in a TRILL site, the Distribution Tree may be pruned and TRILL data packets of that particular Data Label might never get to other TRILL sites. The TRILL RPF check will always be performed on the packets that are received by TIRs through pseudowires. 3) Hop Count values: When a TRILL data packet is received over a pseudowire by a TIR, the TIR does the processing of Hop Count defined in [RFC6325] and will not perform any resetting of Hop Count. +-----+ +-----+ | RBa +---+ ........................... +---| RBb | +-----+ | . . | +-----+ Site 1 | +----+ +----+ | Site 2 +----|TIR1| |TIR2|----+ +----+ MPLS Cloud +----+ . . . +----+ . ..........|TIR3|........... +----+ ^ | | | +-- Emulated TRILL +-----+ | RBc | +-----+ Site 3 M.Umair, K.Smiler et al.Expires December 5, 2017 [Page 9] INTERNET DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 3, 2017 Figure 3: Topological Model of VPTS/TIR connecting three TRILL Sites In the above figure (Figure 3) Site1, Site2 and Site3 (running the TRILL protocol) are connected to TIR Devices. These TIR devices, along with the MPLS cloud, look like an unified emulated TRILL network. Only the PE devices in the MPLS network should be replaced with TIRs so the intermediate Provider routers are agnostic to the TRILL protocol. Figure 4 below extends the topological model of TRILL over MPLS to connect multiple TRILL sites belonging to a tenant (tenant here is a campus, not a Data label) using VPTS model. VTSD1 and VTSD2 are two Virtual TRILL Switch Domains (Virtual RBridges) that segregate Tenant1's traffic from Tenant2's traffic. VTSD1 will maintain its own TRILL database for Tenant1, similarly VTSD2 will maintain its own TRILL database for Tenant2. +-----+ ............................ +-----+ |RBat1+---+ . ######################## . +---|RBbt1| +-----+ | . # # . | +-----+ Tenant1 Site 1| +-----+ +-----+ | Tenant1 Site 2 +----|VTSD1| |VTSD1|----+ +----|VTSD2| MPLS Cloud |VTSD2|----+ | +-----+ +-----+ | +-----+ | . # # . | +-----+ |RBat2+---+ . #########+-----+######### . +---|RBbt2| +-----+ ...........|VTSD1|........... +-----+ Tenant2 Site2 |VTSD2| ^ Tenant2 Site 2 +-----+ | | | +-----+ +-----Emulated |RBct2| TRILL +-----+ Tenant2 Site 3 ....

Entities in the VPTS Model M.Umair, K.Smiler et al.Expires December 5, 2017 [Page 10] INTERNET DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 3, 2017 The CE devices are defined in [RFC4026]. The Generic L2VPN Transport Functional Components like Attachment Circuits, Pseudowires etc. are defined in [RFC4664]. The RB (RBridge) and TRILL Campus are defined in [RFC6325] as updated by [RFC7780]. This model introduces two new entities called TIR and VTSD. 4.1.1. TRILL Intermediate Routers (TIR) The TIRs [TRILL Intermediate Routers] must be capable of running both VPLS and TRILL protocols. TIR devices are a superset of the VPLS-PE devices defined in [RFC4026] with the additional functionality of TRILL. The VSI instance that provides transparent bridging functionality in the PE device is replaced with VTSD in a TIR. 4.1.2. Virtual TRILL Switch/Service Domain (VTSD) The VTSD [Virtual Trill Switch Domain] is similar to VSI (layer 2 bridge) in the VPLS model, but the VTSD acts as a TRILL RBridge. The VTSD is a superset of VSI and must support all the functionality provided by the VSI as defined in [RFC4026]. Along with VSI functionality, the VTSD must be capable of supporting TRILL protocols and forming TRILL adjacencies. The VTSD must be capable of performing all the operations that a standard TRILL Switch can do. One VTSD instance per tenant must be maintained, when multiple tenants are connected to a TIR. The VTSD must maintain all the information maintained by the RBridge on a per tenant basis. The VTSD must also take care of segregating one tenant traffic from other. Each VTSD should have its own nickname, If a TIR supports 10 TRILL tenants, it needs to be assigned with ten TRILL nicknames, one for the nickname space of each of its tenants, and run ten copies of TRILL protocols, one for each tenant. 4.2. TRILL Adjacency for VPTS model The VTSD must be capable of forming TRILL adjacency with other VTSDs present in its peer VPTS neighbor, and also the neighbor RBridges present in the TRILL sites. The procedure to form TRILL Adjacency is specified in [RFC7173] and [RFC7177]. M.Umair, K.Smiler et al.Expires December 5, 2017 [Page 11] INTERNET DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 3, 2017 4.3. MPLS encapsulation for VPTS model The VPTS model uses PPP or Ethernet pseudowires for MPLS encapsulation as specified in [RFC7173], and requires no changes in the packet format in that RFC. 4.4. Loop Free provider PSN/MPLS. This model isn't required to employ Split Horizon mechanism in the provider PSN network, as TRILL takes care of Loop free topology using Distribution Trees. Any multi-destination packet will traverse a distribution tree path. All distribution trees are calculated based on TRILL base protocol standard [RFC6325] as updated by [RFC7780]. 4.5. Frame processing. This section specifies multi-destination and unicast frame processing in VPTS/TIR model. 4.5.1. Multi-Destination Frame processing Any multi-destination (unknown unicast, multicast or broadcast, as indicated by multi-destination bit in the TRILL Header) packets inside VTSD will be processed or forwarded through the distribution tree for which they were encapsulated on TRILL ingress. If any multi-destination packet is received from the wrong pseudowire at a VTSD, the TRILL protocol running in the VTSD will perform an RPF check as specified in [RFC7780] and drop the packet. The Pruning mechanism in Distribution Trees, as specified in [RFC6325] and [RFC7780], can also be used to avoid forwarding of multi-destination data packets on the branches where there are no potential destinations. 4.5.2. Unicast Frame processing Unicast packets must be forwarded in same way they get forwarded in a standard TRILL Campus as specified in [RFC6325]. If multiple equal cost paths are available over pseudowires to reach destination, then VTSD should be capable of doing ECMP for them. 5. Extensions to TRILL Over Pseudowires [RFC7173] The [RFC7173] mentions how to interconnect a pair of Transparent M.Umair, K.Smiler et al.Expires December 5, 2017 [Page 12] INTERNET DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 3, 2017 Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) switch ports using pseudowires. This document explains, how to connect multiple TRILL sites (not limited to only two sites) using the mechanisms and encapsulations defined in [RFC7173]. 6. VPTS Model Versus VPLS Model VPLS Model uses a simpler loop-breaking rule: the "split horizon" rule, where a PE must not forward traffic from one PW to another in the same VPLS mesh, whereas the VPTS Model uses distribution Trees for loop free topology. 7. Packet processing between pseudowires Whenever a packet gets received over a pseudowire, a VTSD will decapsulate the MPLS headers followed by checking the TRILL header. If the egress nickname in the TRILL header is for a TRILL site located beyond another pseudowire, then VTSD will encapsulate with new MPLS headers and send it across the proper pseudowire. For example in figure 3, consider that the pseudowire between TIR1 and TIR2 fails, Then TIR1 will communicate with TIR2 via TIR3, whenever packets which are destined to TIR3 gets received from pseudowire between TIR1 and TIR3, VTSD inside TIR3 will decapsulate the MPLS headers, then check the TRILL header's egress nickname field. If the egress nickname indicate it is destained for the RBridge in site3 then the packet will be sent to RBc, if the egress nickname is located at site2, VTSD will add MPLS headers for the pseudowire between TIR3 and TIR2 and forward the packet on that pseudowire. M.Umair, K.Smiler et al.Expires December 5, 2017 [Page 13] INTERNET DRAFT TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 3, 2017 8. Efficiency Considerations Since the VPTS Model uses Distribution trees for processing of multi- destination data packets, it is always advisable to have at least one Distribution tree root to be located in every TRILL site. This will avoid data packets getting received at TRILL sites where end-station service is not enabled for that data packet.
