It is my understanding that SRP is the protocol that Cisco has
specified, and DPT is their implementation of that protocol.

Cisco Systems Completes Acquisition of Pentacom
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 16, 2000 - Cisco Systems, Inc., today announced
it has completed the acquisition of Pentacom of Herzliya, Israel.
On April 11, 2000, Cisco announced a definitive agreement to acquire
Pentacom, a leading provider of products implementing Spatial Reuse
Protocol (SRP) which allows IP based metropolitan networks to offer the
same protection and restoration benefits as SONET-based networks while
doubling bandwidth efficiency. This acquisition is being accounted for using
purchase accounting.
