Abstract:In multi-service broadband networks, rings are the dominant topology. Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) has emerged as a key technology and a recent IEEE standard in delivering transport convergence. Nonetheless, the current standard has several drawbacks such as. slow convergence, severe oscillation, Class of Service (CoS) end-to-end differentiation and dual-ring utilization. We summarize how recent packet ring research partially addresses these drawbacks. We address the remaining items by introducing a new techniq… Show more
