Umair, et al. Informational [Page 2] RFC 8385 TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 2018
1. 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 document, in conjunction with [RFC7173] on TRILL transport using
pseudowires, addresses two problems:
1) providing connection between more than two TRILL sites that belong
to a single TRILL network and are separated by an MPLS provider
network using [RFC7173]. (Herein, this is 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,
this is for providing connection between TRILL sites belonging to
a tenant/tenants over a MPLS provider network. (Herein, this is
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 document
also addresses the problem of multi-tenancy by isolating one tenant's
traffic from the other.
[RFC7173] mentions how to interconnect a pair of 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].

2. TRILL-over-MPLS Model
TRILL over MPLS can be achieved in two different ways:
a) the VPLS Model for TRILL b) the VPTS Model / TIR Model for
TRILL
Both these models can be used to solve problem statements 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 the VPLS model. The PE routers in the below topology model should support all the functional components mentioned in [RFC4664].

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 are connected via a single bridged Ethernet. These PE devices are the same as the 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 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 Customer Edge (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 campus are defined in [RFC6325] as updated by [RFC7780].
Umair, et al. Informational [Page 6] RFC 8385 TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 2018
3.2. TRILL Adjacency for VPLS Model
As specified in Section 3, 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 adjacencies 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 as specified in Section 3.3.
3.3. 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 the entry PE and removed by the exit PE.
3.4. Loop-Free Provider PSN/MPLS
No explicit handling is required to avoid a loop-free topology. The "split horizon" technique specified in [RFC4664] will take care of avoiding loops in the provider PSN network.
3.5. 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 Layer 2 TRILL service that emulates TRILL service across a Wide Area Network (WAN). VPTS is similar to what VPLS does for a bridged 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 TRILL Intermediate Routers (TIRs), and the VSIs are replaced with Virtual TRILL Switch Domains (VTSDs). The TIR devices must be capable of supporting both
Umair, et al. Informational [Page 7] RFC 8385 TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 2018
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 an RBridge.
Below are some of the reasons for interconnecting TRILL sites without isolating the TRILL control plane of one TRILL site from other sites.
1) Nickname uniqueness: One of the basic requirements of TRILL is
that RBridge nicknames are unique within the campus [RFC6325]. If
we segregate the control plane of one TRILL site from other TRILL
sites and provide interconnection between these sites, it may
result in nickname collision.
2) Distribution trees and their pruning: When a TRILL Data packet
traverses a Distribution Tree, it will stay on it even in other
TRILL sites. 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 another TRILL site where the packets had no
receivers. The TRILL Reverse Path Forwarding (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.

Umair, et al. Informational [Page 8] RFC 8385 TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 2018
In Figure 3, Site 1, Site 2, and Site 3 (running the TRILL protocol) are connected to TIR devices. These TIR devices, along with the MPLS cloud, look like a 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 the 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.

4.1. Entities in the VPTS Model
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].
Umair, et al. Informational [Page 9] RFC 8385 TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 2018
This model introduces two new entities, TIR and VTSD, which are described below.
4.1.1. TRILL Intermediate Router (TIR)
The TIRs 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 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 is similar to the VSI (Layer 2 bridge) in the VPLS model, but the VTSD acts as a TRILL RBridge. The VTSD is a superset of the 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 kept by the RBridge on a per-tenant basis. The VTSD must also take care of segregating one tenant's traffic from another's. Each VTSD will have its own nickname for each tenant. If a TIR supports 10 TRILL tenants, it needs to be assigned with 10 TRILL nicknames, one for the nickname space of each of its tenants, and run 10 copies of TRILL protocols, one for each tenant. It is possible that it would have the same nickname for two or more tenants, but, since the TRILL data and control traffic are separated for the tenants, there is no confusion.
4.2. TRILL Adjacency for VPTS Model
The VTSD must be capable of forming a TRILL adjacency with the corresponding VTSDs present in its peer VPTS neighbor and also with the neighboring RBridges of the TRILL sites. The procedure to form TRILL adjacency is specified in [RFC7173] and [RFC7177].
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. In accordance with [RFC7173], the PPP encapsulation is the default.
Umair, et al. Informational [Page 10] RFC 8385 TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 2018
4.4. Loop-Free Provider PSN/MPLS
This model isn't required to employ the "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 the TRILL base protocol standard [RFC6325] as updated by [RFC7780].
4.5. Frame Processing
This section specifies multi-destination and unicast frame processing in the VPTS/TIR model.
4.5.1. Multi-destination Frame Processing
Any multi-destination (unknown unicast, multicast, or broadcast, as indicated by the multi-destination bit in the TRILL header) packets inside a 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 are forwarded in the 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 the destination, then VTSD should be capable of doing ECMP for those equal-cost paths.
5. VPTS Model versus VPLS Model
The 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. In contrast, the VPTS model uses distribution trees for loop-free topology. As this is an emulated TRILL service, for interoperability purposes, the VPTS model is the default.
Umair, et al. Informational [Page 11] RFC 8385 TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 2018
6. Packet Processing between Pseudowires
Whenever a packet gets received over a pseudowire, a VTSD will decapsulate the MPLS headers then check the TRILL header. If the egress nickname in the TRILL header is for a TRILL site located beyond another pseudowire, then the VTSD will encapsulate the packet 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 that are destined to TIR3 are received from the pseudowire between TIR1 and TIR3, the VTSD inside TIR3 will decapsulate the MPLS headers, then check the TRILL header's egress nickname field. If the egress nickname indicates it is destined for the RBridge in Site 3, then the packet will be sent to RBc; if the egress nickname is located at Site 2, VTSD will add MPLS headers for the pseudowire between TIR3 and TIR2 and forward the packet on that pseudowire.
7. 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 located in every TRILL site. This will prevent data packets from being received at TRILL sites where end- station service is not enabled for that data packet.
8. Security Considerations
This document specifies methods using existing standards and facilities in ways that do not create new security problems.
For general VPLS security considerations, including discussion of isolating customers from each other, see [RFC4761] and [RFC4762].
For security considerations for transport of TRILL by pseudowires, see [RFC7173]. In particular, since pseudowires are supported by MPLS or IP, which are in turn supported by a link layer, that document recommends using IP security, such as IPsec [RFC4301] or DTLS [RFC6347], or the lower link-layer security, such as MACSEC [802.1AE] for Ethernet links.
Transmission outside the customer environment through the provider environment, as described in this document, increases risk of compromise or injection of false data through failure of tenant isolation or by the provider. In the VPLS model (Section 3), the use of link encryption and authentication between the CEs of a tenant that is being connected through provider facilities should be a good
Umair, et al. Informational [Page 12] RFC 8385 TRILL Transparent Transport over MPLS June 2018
defense. In the VPTS model (Section 4), it is assumed that the CEs will peer with virtual TRILL switches of the provider network, and thus link security between TRILL switch ports is inadequate as it will terminate at the edge PE. Thus, encryption and authentication from end station to end station and authentication are more appropriate for the VPTS model.
For added security against the compromise of data, end-to-end encryption and authentication should be considered; that is, encryption and authentication from source end station to destination end station. This would typically be provided by IPsec [RFC4301] or DTLS [RFC6347] or other protocols convenient to protect the information of concern.
For general TRILL security considerations, see [RFC6325].
