Modeling Tool of TRILL Protocol

This paper proposes the first modeling tool of TRILL protocol. The application implements TRILL features, which include the most fundamental concepts of IS-IS protocol. Simplified STP protocol is also implemented. The application can be used to didactically and interactively present the advantages of the TRILL protocol over STP. Alternatively, the tool can be utilized as a decision tool for TRILL deployment in enterprise networks. The functionality of the TRILL protocol is discussed with emphasis on the main differences between STP. The application was tested on five scenarios of TRILL deployment in a typical enterprise network. Data traffic of these different deployments was compared using the application. Finally, results are further discussed.
