[c-nsp] RPR in MetroE

[Vitkovský Adam]

Oh my bad, sorry about the confusion, as Saku mentioned already REP is what you should be looking for to build L2 rings.
RPR/SPR is for the optical domain.

Thanks Adam for your suggestion, It takes lot of setup change for implementing MPLS in ME so I would rather go for RPR for now. But I am finding only Cisco 10700 series supports RPR when I refer to the cisco feature navigator.

Warm Regards,

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.
