Donald Eastlake, Stellar Switches

Donald Eastlake is Chief Technology Officer for Stellar Switches, Inc., and before that was a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Motorola. He is co-chair of the IETF TRILL Working Group. Donald is an author of about 50 IETF RFCs, including the only RFC with "sex" in its title, editor of the TRILL base protocol specification, and an author of a number of other TRILL related Internet Drafts..
Abstract: RBridges are devices that implement the IETF TRILL protocol. They provide optimal pair-wise forwarding without configuration, safe forwarding even during periods of temporary loops, and support for multipathing of both unicast and multicast traffic. They achieve these goals using IS-IS routing and encapsulation of traffic with a header that includes a hop count. RBridges are compatible with previous IEEE 802.1 customer bridges as well as IPv4 and IPv6 routers and end nodes. They support VLANs and optimization of the distribution of multi-destination frames based on VLAN and IP derived multicast groups. They are as invisible to current IP routers as bridges are and, like routers, they terminate the bridge spanning tree.
