[c-nsp] RPR in MetroE

[Vitkovský Adam]

Hi,
Sure 802.17 RPR is meant to supersede the STP for loop avoidance, faster convergence and better BW efficiency. 
However in order to deploy it all nodes in the ring have to support it. 
All ME series switches should support it. 
Though I'd recommend upgrading the kit to MPLS capable ME switches and to use rLFA to achieve sub 50ms convergence.
