Join a panel of networking heavyweights as they discuss multi-chassis architecture such (Brocade VCS) and contrast it to multi-pathing technology (TRILL). The discussion touches on the following points:

  • How TRILL fabrics do multi-path and where it really works
  • What link-state routing protocol to use (Routing Bridges, IS-IS, FSPF)
  • Is interoperability and standardization (Fabric Path, VCS) a red herring?
  • An extensive whiteboard demonstration of load balancing across multiple links with aggregation groups – traditional Ethernet LACP/Port Channels per-flow vs. Brocade per-frame link aggregation
  • Further whiteboard discussion of scalability and standards-compliance of multi-chassis technology

Personnel: Chip Copper, Chris Marget, Greg Ferro, Ivan Pepelnjak, Josh O'Brien, Tony Bourke
