Technical Summary
This document describes mechanisms for providing directory service to
TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) edge switches.
The directory information provided can be used in reducing multi-
destination traffic, particularly ARP/ND and unknown unicast
flooding. It can also be used to detect traffic with forged source
addresses. Directory Service can utilize either a push or a pull mechanism.
Working Group Summary
This document is the result of 3 years of intensive discussion.
The WG consensus was complete even if the WG discussion at the
end of the three years was "Time to send this to IESG".
