I made some changes to the Directory Assisted TRILL encapsulation by Non-TRILL nodes, especially add a section on benefits.

TRILL Encap by Non-TRILL nodes (TRILL Pre-Encap) allows all non-TRILL nodes attached to one RBridge edge to share one NickName.  TRILL Pre-Encap depends on the Directory Assistance, therefore, the scheme is a lot simpler than TRILL SmartEnd node.

Main benefits of TRILL pre-encap include:

- Avoid Nickname Exhaustion Issue
- Reduce FDB size for switches on Bridged LANs attached to RBridge Edge

Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
