Abstract

See full text

Featured are a system and method for providing a distributed switch system (DSS) in a TRILL-compliant network. An ingress network device in the TRILL-compliant network provides data to a received packet. The data includes instructions related to a feature of the DSS. The instructions are inserted into a TRILL header generated at the ingress network device. The TRILL header is output to an egress network device in the TRILL-compliant network. A determination is made whether the ingress network device and the egress network device are members of the DSS. The instructions are processed by the egress network device in response to determining that ingress and egress devices are members of the DSS.
