[ednog] Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (trill)

[David Farmer]

An interesting way to tackle the problem of campus networks and the 
bridging and routing problem.  Has anyone else looked at this?

Radia Perlman is working on this, I think it is her desired replacement for 
spanning tree.  I need to think about this and VRFs, but I think it is 
extensible to them.
