Session Details


Overview of Resilient Packet Rings Operation, Design and Deployment
This session will provide an introduction to Resilient Packet Ring  (RPR)
technology. With the IEEE 802.17 draft RPR standard due for ratification by
the end of 2003, RPR is expected to be ever more popular in service provider
network
backbones.  The speaker will provide a better understanding of this
important technology as well as RPR applications and operational issues for
service providers.  Topics that will be covered include:

 Overview of the principles of RPR protocol operation, such as RPR basics,
Spatial Reuse Protocol (SRP) MAC and data path packet processing, IPS
protection switching and bandwidth control/SRP fairness algorithm
 Overview of how RPR is deployed in service provider POP, WAN and MAN
network architectures
 RPR network design guidelines
 Update on IEEE 802.17 status and comparison of 802.17 vs. SRP features
