         Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL):
                    RBridge Channel Header Extension

Abstract

   The IETF TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links)
   protocol includes an optional mechanism (specified in RFC 7178)
   called RBridge Channel for the transmission of typed messages between
   TRILL switches in the same campus and the transmission of such
   messages between TRILL switches and end stations on the same link.
   This document specifies extensions to the RBridge Channel protocol
   header to support two features as follows: (1) a standard method to
   tunnel payloads whose type can be indicated by Ethertype through
   encapsulation in RBridge Channel messages; and (2) a method to
   support security facilities for RBridge Channel messages.  This
   document updates RFC 7178.

1.  Introduction

   The IETF TRILL base protocol [RFC6325] [RFC7780] has been extended
   with the RBridge Channel [RFC7178] facility to support transmission
   of typed messages (for example, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
   (BFD) [RFC7175]) between two TRILL switches (RBridges) in the same
   campus and the transmission of such messages between RBridges and end
   stations on the same link.  When sent between RBridges in the same
   campus, a TRILL Data packet with a TRILL Header is used, and the
   destination RBridge is indicated by nickname.  When sent between a
   RBridge and an end station on the same link in either direction, a
   native RBridge Channel message [RFC7178] is used with no TRILL
   Header, and the destination port or ports are indicated by a Media
   Access Control (MAC) address.  (There is no mechanism to stop end
   stations on the same link from sending native RBridge Channel
   messages to each other; however, such use is outside the scope of
   this document.)

   This document updates [RFC7178] and specifies extensions to the
   RBridge Channel header that provide two additional facilities as
   follows:

      (1) A standard method to tunnel payloads, whose type may be
          indicated by Ethertype, through encapsulation in RBridge
          Channel messages.

      (2) A method to provide security facilities for RBridge Channel
          messages.  Example uses requiring such facilities are the
          security of Pull Directory messages [RFC7067], address flush
          messages [AddrFlush], and port shutdown messages [TRILL-AF].

   Use of each of these facilities is optional, except that, as
   specified below, if this header extension is implemented, there are
   two payload types that MUST be implemented.  Both of the above
   facilities can be used in the same packet.  In case of conflict
   between this document and [RFC7178], this document takes precedence.

1.1.  Terminology and Acronyms

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and

   [RFC2119].

   This document uses terminology and abbreviations defined in [RFC6325]
   and [RFC7178].  Some of these are listed below for convenience along
   with new terms and abbreviations.

      application_data - A DTLS [RFC6347] message type.

      Data Label - VLAN or FGL.

      DTLS - Datagram Transport Layer Security [RFC6347].

      FCS - Frame Check Sequence.

      FGL - Fine-Grained Label [RFC7172].

      MTU - Maximum Transmission Unit.

      RBridge - An alternative term for a TRILL switch.

      SHA - Secure Hash Algorithm [RFC6234].

      Sz - Campus-wide minimum link MTU [RFC6325] [RFC7780].

      TRILL - Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links or Tunneled
         Routing in the Link Layer.

      TRILL switch - A device that implements the TRILL protocol
         [RFC6325] [RFC7780], sometimes referred to as an RBridge.

2.  RBridge Channel Header Extension Format

   The general structure of an RBridge Channel message between two TRILL
   switches (RBridges) in the same campus is shown in Figure 1 below.
   The structure of a native RBridge Channel message sent between an
   RBridge and an end station on the same link, in either direction, is
   shown in Figure 2 and, compared with the first case, omits the TRILL
   Header, inner Ethernet addresses, and Data Label.  A Protocol field
   in the RBridge Channel Header gives the type of RBridge Channel
   message and indicates how to interpret the Channel-Protocol-Specific
   Payload [RFC7178].

   zero.

   The header extensions specified herein are in the form of an RBridge

           Figure 4: RBridge Channel Header Extension Structure

   The RBridge Channel Header Protocol field is used to indicate that
   the header extension is present.  Its contents MUST be the value
   allocated for this purpose (see Section 6).  The use of an RBridge
   Channel protocol to indicate extensions makes it easy to determine if
   a remote RBridge in the campus supports extensions since RBridges
   advertise in their LSP which such protocols they support.

   The Extended RBridge Channel-Protocol-Specific Data fields are as
   follows:

      SubERR: This field provides further details when an error is
         indicated in the RBridge Channel ERR field.  If ERR is zero,
         then SubERR MUST be sent as zero and ignored on receipt.  See
         Section 5.

      RESV4: This field MUST be sent as zero.  If non-zero when
         received, this is an error condition.  See Section 5.

      SType: This field describes the type of security information and
         features, including keying material, being used or provided by
         the extended RBridge Channel message.  See Section 4.

      PType: Payload Type.  This describes the tunneled data.  See
         Section 3.

      Security Information: Variable-length information.  Length is zero
         if SType is zero.  See Section 4.

   The RBridge Channel Header Extension is integrated with the RBridge
   Channel facility.  Extension errors are reported as if they were
   RBridge Channel errors, using newly allocated code points in the ERR
   field of the RBridge Channel Header supplemented by the SubERR field.

3.  Extended RBridge Channel Payload Types

   The Extended RBridge Channel Protocol can carry a variety of payloads
   as indicated by the PType (Payload Type) field.  Values are shown in
   the table below with further explanation below the table (see also
   Section 6.2.2).

         PType  Description         Reference
         -----  -----------         ---------
            0   Reserved
            1   Null                Section 3.1 of RFC 7978
            2   Ethertyped Payload  Section 3.2 of RFC 7978
            3   Ethernet Frame      Section 3.3 of RFC 7978
         4-14   Unassigned
           15   Reserved

                       Table 1: Payload Type Values

   While implementation of the RBridge Channel Header Extension is
   optional, if it is implemented, PType 1 (Null) MUST be implemented
   and PType 2 (Ethertyped Payload) with the RBridge Channel RBridge-Channel Ethertype
   MUST be implemented.  PType 2 for any Ethertypes other than the
   RBridge Channel
   RBridge-Channel Ethertype MAY be implemented.  PType 3 MAY be
   implemented.

   The processing of any particular extended header RBridge Channel
   message and its payload depends on meeting local security and other
   policy at the destination TRILL switch or end station.

3.1.  Null Payload

   The Null payload type (PType = 1) is intended to be used for testing
   or for messages such as key negotiation or the like where only
   security information is present.  It indicates that there is no user
   data payload.  Any tunneled user data after the Security Information
   field is ignored.  If the RBridge Channel Header Extension is
   implemented, the Null Payload MUST be supported in the sense that an
   "Unsupported PType" error is not returned (see Section 5).  Any
   particular use of the Null Payload should specify what VLAN or FGL
   and what priority should be used in the inner Data Label of the
   RBridge Channel message (or in an outer VLAN tag for the native
   RBridge Channel message case) when those values are relevant.

3.2.  Ethertyped Payload

   A PType of 2 indicates that the payload (tunneled data) of the
   extended RBridge Channel message begins with an Ethertype.  A TRILL
   switch supporting the RBridge Channel Header Extension MUST support a
   PType of 2 with a payload beginning with the RBridge Channel RBridge-Channel
   Ethertype as described in Section 3.2.1.  Other Ethertypes, including
   the TRILL and L2-IS-IS Ethertypes as described in Sections 3.2.2 and
   3.2.3, MAY be supported.

3.2.1.  RBridge Channel Message as the Payload

   A PType of 2 whose payload has an initial RBridge Channel RBridge-Channel Ethertype
   indicates an encapsulated RBridge Channel message.  A typical reason
   for sending an RBridge Channel message inside an extended RBridge
   Channel message is to provide security services, such as
   authentication or encryption, for the encapsulated message.

   This RBridge Channel message type looks like the following:

                        1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3

         Figure 5: Message Structure with RBridge Channel Payload

3.2.2.  TRILL Data Packet as the Payload

   A PType of 2 whose payload has an initial TRILL Ethertype indicates
   an encapsulated TRILL Data packet as shown in Figure 7. 6.  If this
   Ethertype is supported for PType = 2 and the message meets local
   policy for acceptance, the TRILL Data packet is handled as if it had
   been received by the destination TRILL switch on the port where the
   Extended RBridge Channel message was received.

        Figure 6: Message Structure with TRILL Data Packet Payload

   The optional flags word is only present if the F bit in the TRILL
   Header is one [RFC7780].

3.2.3.  TRILL IS-IS Packet as the Payload

   A PType of 2 and an initial L2-IS-IS Ethertype indicate that the
   payload of the Extended RBridge Channel protocol message is an
   encapsulated TRILL IS-IS PDU as shown in Figure 7.  If this Ethertype
   is supported for PType = 2, the tunneled TRILL IS-IS packet is
   processed by the destination RBridge if it meets local policy.  One
   possible use is to expedite the receipt of a link state PDU (LSP) by
   some TRILL switch or switches with an immediate requirement for the
   link state information.  A link local IS-IS PDU (Hello, CSNP, or PSNP
   [IS-IS]; MTU-probe or MTU-ack [RFC7176]; or circuit-scoped FS-LSP,
   FS-CSNP, or FS-PSNP [RFC7356]) would not normally be
   sent via this Extended RBridge Channel method except possibly to
   encrypt it the PDU since such PDUs can just be transmitted on the link
   and do not normally need RBridge Channel handling.  (Link local IS-IS
   PDUs are (1) Hello, CSNP, PSNP [IS-IS]; (2) MTU-probe, MTU-ack
   [RFC7176]; and (3) circuit scoped FS-LSP, FS-CSNP, and FS-PSNP

3.3.  Ethernet Frame

   If PType is 3, the extended RBridge Channel payload is an Ethernet
   frame as might be received from or sent to an end station except that
   the encapsulated Ethernet frame's FCS is omitted, as shown in
   Figure 8.  (There is still an overall final FCS if the RBridge
   Channel message is being sent on an Ethernet link.) If this PType is
   implemented and the message meets local policy, the encapsulated
   frame is handled as if it had been received on the port on which the
   Extended RBridge Channel message was received.

   The priority of the RBridge Channel message can be copied from the
   Ethernet frame VLAN tag, if one is present, except that priority 7
   SHOULD only be used for messages critical to establishing or
   maintaining adjacency and priority 6 SHOULD only be used for other
   important control messages.

          Figure 8: Message Structure with Ethernet Frame Payload

   In the case of a non-Ethernet link, such as a PPP (Point-to-Point
   Protocol) link [RFC6361], the ports on the link are considered to
   have link-local synthetic 48-bit MAC addresses constructed as
   described below.  Such a constructed address MAY be used as a MacSA.
   If the RBridge Channel message is individually addressed to a link-
   local port, the source TRILL switch will have the information to
   construct such a MAC address for the destination TRILL switch port,
   and that MAC address MAY be used as the MacDA.  By the use of such a
   MacSA and either such a unicast MacDA or a group-addressed MacDA, an
   Ethernet frame can be sent between two TRILL switch ports connected
   by a non-Ethernet link.

   These synthetic TRILL switch port MAC addresses for non-Ethernet
   ports are constructed as follows (and as shown in Figure  9): 0xFEFF,
   the nickname of the TRILL switch used in TRILL Hellos sent on that
   port, and the Port ID that the TRILL switch has assigned to that
   port.  (Both the Port ID of the port on which a TRILL Hello is sent
   and the nickname of the sending TRILL switch appear in the Special
   VLANs and Flags sub-TLV [RFC7176] in TRILL IS-IS Hellos.)  The
   resulting MAC address has the Local bit on and the Group bit off
   [RFC7042].  However, since there will be no Ethernet end stations on
   a non-Ethernet link in a TRILL campus, such synthetic MAC addresses
   cannot conflict on the link with a real Ethernet port address
   regardless of their values.

4.  Extended RBridge Channel Security

   Table 2 below gives the assigned values of the SType (Security Type)
   field and their meaning.  Use of DTLS Pairwise Security (SType = 2)
   or Composite Security (SType = 3) is RECOMMENDED.

   While [RFC5310]-based IS-IS CRYPTO_AUTH-based authentication is also specified and
   can be used for both pairwise and multi-destination traffic, it
   provides only authentication and is not considered to meet current
   security standards.  For example, it does not provide for key
   negotiation; thus, its use is NOT RECOMMENDED.

   The Extended RBridge Channel DTLS-based security specified in
   Section 4.4 and the Composite Security specified in Section 4.5 are
   intended for pairwise (known unicast) use.  That is, the case where
   the M bit in the TRILL Header is zero and any Outer.MacDA is
   individually addressed.

   Multi-destination Extended RBridge Channel packets would be those
   with the M bit in the TRILL Header set to one or, in the native
   RBridge Channel case, the Outer.MacDA would be group addressed.  The
   DTLS Pairwise Security and Composite Security STypes can also be used
   in the multi-destination case by serially unicasting the messages to
   all data-accessible RBridges (or stations in the native RBridge
   Channel case) in the recipient group.  For TRILL Data packets, that
   group is specified by the Data Label; for native frames, the group is
   specified by the groupcast destination MAC address.  It is intended
   to specify a true group keyed SType to secure multi-destination
   packets in a separate document [GroupKey].

4.1.  Derived Keying Material

   In some cases, it is possible to use material derived from [RFC5310] IS-IS
   CRYPTO_AUTH keying material [RFC5310] as an element of Extended
   RBridge Channel security.  It is assumed that the IS-IS keying
   material is of high quality.  The material actually used is derived
   from the IS-IS keying material as follows:

      Derived Material =
         HKDF-Expand-SHA256 ( IS-IS-key, "Extended Channel" | 0x0S, L )

   where "|" indicates concatenation, HKDF is as in [RFC5869], SHA256 is
   as in [RFC6234], IS-IS-key is the input IS-IS keying material,
   "Extended Channel" is the 16-character ASCII [RFC20] string indicated
   without any leading length byte or trailing zero byte, 0x0S is a
   single byte where S is the SType for which this key derivation is
   being used and the upper nibble is zero, and L is the length of the
   output-derived material needed.

   Whenever IS-IS keying material is being used as above, the underlying
   [RFC5310]
   IS-IS CRYPTO_AUTH keying material [RFC5310] might expire or be
   invalidated.  At the time of or before such expiration or
   invalidation, the use of the Derived Material from the IS-IS keying
   material MUST cease.  Continued security MAY use new derived material
   from currently valid
   [RFC5310] IS-IS CRYPTO_AUTH keying material.

4.2.  SType None

   No security services are being invoked.  The length of the Security
   Information field (see Figure 4) is zero.

4.3.  [RFC5310]-Based  IS-IS CRYPTO_AUTH-Based Authentication

   This SType provides security for Extended RBridge Channel messages
   similar to that provided for [IS-IS] PDUs by the [IS-IS]
   Authentication TLV.  The Security Information (see Figure 4) is as
   shown in Figure 10.

   o  Key ID: specifies the keying value and authentication algorithm
      that the Key ID specifies for TRILL IS-IS LSP [RFC5310]
      Authentication TLVs.  The keying material actually used is always
      derived as shown in Section 4.1.

   o  Authentication Data: The authentication data produced by the
      derived key and algorithm associated with the Key ID acting on the
      part of the TRILL Data packet shown.  Length of the authentication
      data depends on the algorithm.  The authentication value is
      included in the security information field and is treated as zero
      when authentication is calculated.

   As show in Figure 11, the area covered by this authentication starts
   with the byte immediately after the TRILL Header optional Flag Word
   if it is present.  If the Flag Word is not present, it starts after
   the TRILL Header Ingress Nickname.  In either case, it extends to
   just before the TRILL Data packet link trailer.  For example, for an
   Ethernet packet it would extend to just before the FCS.

   In the native RBridge Channel case, this authentication coverage is

   While

   RBridges, which are IS-IS routers, can reasonably be expected to hold [RFC5310]
   IS-IS CRYPTO_AUTH keying material [RFC5310] so that this SType can be
   used for RBridge Channel messages, how which go between RBridges.  How
   end stations might come to hold [RFC5310] IS-IS CRYPTO_AUTH keying material is
   beyond the scope of this document.  Thus, this SType might not be
   applicable to native RBridge Channel messages. messages, which are between an
   RBridge and an end station.

4.4.  DTLS Pairwise Security

   DTLS [RFC6347] supports key negotiation and provides both encryption
   and authentication.  The RBridge Channel Extended Header DTLS
   Pairwise SType uses a negotiated DTLS version that MUST NOT be less
   than 1.2.

   When DTLS pairwise security is used, the entire payload of the
   Extended RBridge Channel packet, starting just after the null
   Security Information and ending just before the link trailer, is one
   or more DTLS records [RFC6347].  As specified in [RFC6347], DTLS
   records MUST be limited by the path MTU, in this case so that each
   record fits entirely within a single Extended RBridge Channel
   message.  A minimum path MTU can be determined from the TRILL campus
   minimum MTU Sz, which will not be less than 1470 bytes, by allowing
   for the TRILL Data packet, extended RBridge Channel, and DTLS framing
   overhead.  With this SType, the security information between the
   extended RBridge Channel header and the payload is null because all
   the security information is in the payload area.

   The DTLS Pairwise keying is set up between a pair of RBridges,
   independent of Data Label, using messages of a priority configurable
   at the RBridge level, which defaults to priority 6.  DTLS message
   types other than application_data can be the payload of an extended
   RBridge Channel message with a TRILL Header using any Data Label,
   and, for such DTLS message types, the PType in the RBridge Channel
   Header Extension is ignored.

   Actual application_data sent within such a message using this SType
   SHOULD use the Data Label and priority as specified for that
   application_data.  In this case, the PType value in the RBridge
   Channel Header Extension applies to the decrypted application_data.

   TRILL switches that implement the extended RBridge Channel DTLS
   Pairwise SType SHOULD support the use of certificates for DTLS, but
   certificate size may be limited by the DTLS requirement that each
   record fit within a single message.  Appropriate certificate contents
   are out of scope for this document.

   TRILL switches that support the extended RBridge Channel DTLS
   Pairwise SType MUST support the use of pre-shared keys.  If the
   psk_identity (see [RFC4279]) is two bytes, it is interpreted as a Key
   ID as defined in [RFC5310], and the value derived as shown in
   Section 4.1 from that key is used as a pre-shared key for DTLS
   negotiation.  A psk_identity with a length other than two bytes MAY
   be used to indicate other implementation-dependent pre-shared keys.
   Pre-shared keys used for DTLS negotiation SHOULD be shared only by
   the pair of endpoints; otherwise, security could be attacked by
   diverting messages to another endpoint holding that pre-shared key.

4.5.  Composite Security

   Composite Security (SType = 3) is the combination of DTLS Pairwise
   Security and [RFC5310]-Based IS-IS CRYPTO_AUTH-Based Authentication.  On
   transmission, the DTLS record or records to be sent are secured as
   specified in Section 4.4 then used as the payload for the application
   of Authentication as specified in Section 4.3.  On reception, the
   [RFC5310]-based IS-
   IS CRYPTO_AUTH-based authentication is verified first and an error is
   returned if it fails.  If the [RFC5310]-based IS-IS CRYPTO_AUTH-based authentication
   succeeds, then the DTLS record or records are processed.

   An advantage of Composite Security is that the payload is
   authenticated and encrypted with a modern security protocol; in
   addition, the RBridge Channel Header and (except in the native case)
   preceding the MAC addresses and Data Label are provided with some
   authentication.

5.  Extended RBridge Channel Errors

   RBridge Channel Header Extension errors are reported like RBridge
   Channel errors.  The ERR field is set to one of the following error
   codes:

         Value   RBridge Channel Error Code Meaning
         -----   ------------------------------------
           6     Unknown or unsupported field value
           7     Authentication failure
           8     Error in nested RBridge Channel message

                      Table 3: Additional ERR Values

5.1.  SubERRs

   If the ERR field is 6, the SubERR field indicates the problematic
   field or value as shown in the table below.  At this time no
   suberrror codes are assigned under any other ERR field value.

         Err SubERR  Meaning (for ERR = 6)
         --- ------  -----------------------
          0          No Error; suberrors not allowed
         1-5         (no suberrors assigned)
          6     0    Reserved
          6     1    Non-zero RESV4 nibble
          6     2    Unsupported SType
          6     3    Unsupported PType
          6     4    Unknown Key ID
          6     5    Unsupported Ethertype with PType = 2
          6     6    Unsupported authentication algorithm for SType = 1
          6     7    Non-zero SubERR with zero ERR field
         7-14        (no suberrors assigned)
         15          Reserved

                          Table 4: SubERR Values

5.2.  Secure Nested RBridge Channel Errors

   If
   o  an extended RBridge Channel message is sent with security and with
      a payload type (PType) indicating an Ethertyped payload and the
      Ethertype indicates a nested RBridge Channel message and
   o  there is an error in the processing of that nested message that
      results in a return RBridge Channel message with a non-zero ERR
      field,
   then that returned message SHOULD also be nested in an extended
   RBridge Channel message using the same type of security.  In this
   case, the ERR field in the Extended RBridge Channel envelope is set
   to 8 indicating that there is a nested error in the message being
   tunneled back.

6.  IANA Considerations

6.1.  Extended RBridge Channel Protocol Number

   IANA has assigned 0x004 from the range assigned by Standards Action
   [RFC5226] as the RBridge Channel protocol number to indicate RBridge
   Channel Header Extension.

   The added "RBridge Channel Protocols" registry in the TRILL
   Parameters registry is as follows:

         Protocol    Description              Reference
         -------- -------------------------- ----------------
          0x004    RBridge Channel Extension  RFC 7978

6.2.  RBridge Channel Protocol Subregistries

   IANA has created three subregistries under the "RBridge Channel
   Protocols" registry as detailed in the subsections below.

6.2.1.  RBridge Channel Error Codes

   IANA has assigned three additional code points in the "RBridge
   Channel Error Codes" subregistry in the "Transparent Interconnection
   of Lots of Links (TRILL) Parameters" registry.  The additional
   entries are as shown in Table 3 in Section 5 and the "Reference"
   column value is "RFC 7978" for those rows.

6.2.2.  RBridge Channel SubError Codes

   IANA has created a subregistry indented under the "RBridge Channel
   Error Codes" registry, for RBridge Channel SubError Codes.  The
   initial contents of this subregistry are shown in Table 4 in Section
   5.1 and the fourth column "Reference" includes value "RFC 7978" for
   all rows.  The header information is as follows:

      Registry Name: RBridge Channel SubError Codes
      Registration Procedures: IETF Review
      Reference: RFC 7978

6.2.3.  Extended RBridge Channel Payload Types Subregistry

   IANA has created an "Extended RBridge Channel Payload Types"
   subregistry after the "RBridge Channel Protocols" registry in the
   "Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) Parameters"
   registry.  The header information is as follows:

      Registration Procedures: IETF Review
      Reference: RFC 7978

   The initial registry content is in Table 1 in Section 3 of this
   document.

6.2.4.  Extended RBridge Channel Security Types Subregistry

   IANA has created an "Extended RBridge Channel Security Types"
   subregistry after the "Extended RBridge Channel Payload Types"
   registry in the "Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL)
   Parameters" registry.  The header information is as follows:

      Registration Procedures: IETF Review
      Reference: RFC 7978

   The initial registry content is in Table 2 in Section 4 of this
   document.

7.  Security Considerations

   The RBridge Channel Header Extension has potentially positive and
   negative effects on security.

   On the positive side, it provides optional security that can be used
   to authenticate and/or encrypt RBridge Channel messages.  Some
   RBridge Channel message payloads, such as BFD [RFC7175], provide
   their own security but where this is not true, consideration should
   be given, when specifying an RBridge Channel protocol, to
   recommending or requiring use of the security features of the RBridge
   Channel Header Extension.

   On the negative side, the optional ability to tunnel more payload
   types, and to tunnel them between TRILL switches and to and from end
   stations, can increase risk unless precautions are taken.  The
   processing of decapsulated extended RBridge Channel payloads is a
   place where you SHOULD NOT be liberal in what you accept.  This is
   because the tunneling facility makes it easier for unexpected
   messages to pop up in unexpected places in a TRILL campus due to
   accidents or the actions of an adversary.  Local policies SHOULD
   generally be strict and only accept payload types required and then
   only with adequate security for the particular circumstances.

   See the first paragraph of Section 4 for recommendations on SType
   usage.

   See [RFC7457] for security considerations of DTLS.

   If IS-IS authentication is not being used, then [RFC5310] IS-IS CRYPTO_AUTH
   keying
   information material [RFC5310] would not normally be available but that
   presumably represents a judgment by the TRILL campus operator that no
