[c-nsp] NX-OS - Fabric Path

[Phil Bedard]

>From my understanding the initial FP is proprietary and uses 802.1ah (mac-in-mac) encapsulation which is very different from TRILL which has its own header format which is not MAC address based (canonical nicknames instead.)  Cisco has said they will support standard TRILL at a later date.
