Replication done at optimal point based on shortest path algorithm Edge-1 Edge-2 Edge-4 Core-2 Core-1 Edge-5 Edge-6 Edge-8 Edge-9 Common VLAN service Packets only traverse SPF links, no out of order packets, only nodes that are a member of the same service receive packets Edge-3 Unicast and Multicast always follow the same path No intervention needed, no root bridges, just turn it on VLAN evolves into a Service with simple end point provisioning All traffic is forwarded in the most optimal path based on SPF calculations 20

One multicast packet sent to Core-1.

Root Bridge Edge-3 Edge-4 Edge-5 Edge-6 Edge-8 Edge-9 To get best multicast model they have to make every edge a root bridge Lots of manual config of where root bridges exist Causing every edge to receive a packet whether it has a service or not 22

With TRILL, no two vendors implementation is the same; no multi-vendor interoperability!! 30
