To: IEEE 802.1 Tony Jeffree From: IESG CC: Eric Gray, IETF Liaison Manager for IEEE 802.1, CC: statements@ietf.org Date: 2011/03/14 Response Contacts: IETF Internet Area Director, Ralph Droms CC: statements@ietf.org Title: IETF trill Working Group Work Items Purpose: For Information The trill Working Group of the IETF is in the process of identifying new work and formalizing its work items through rechartering. We have included a copy of the new charter for your information. The trill Working Group is also considering two additional work items that may be related to work in the IEEE, which we include here for your information: (8) Support for RBridge VLAN and priority regions, so that a VLAN ID or priority may have different meanings in different regions, requiring configuration only at border RBridges (9) Specify the use of the TRILL protocol in data centers, such as by adding any support that may be need for IEEE 802.1 "Data Center Bridging" standards We expect to consider these additional work items for inclusion in the trill Working Group charter in the next few weeks. Please let us know if you have any relevant comments before April 4, 2011.
