IEEE 802.17

In the IEEE working group802.17, the standardization of the Resilient Packet Ring( RPR) is being driven forward. This is a network protocol for fast packet transmission in elastic ring topologies.

RPR technology can be used to connect buildings and cities over long distances. Data rates of 1 Gbit/s and 10 Gbit/s are planned for RPR technology; in addition, various SDH speed levels.

Since the Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) standard was not consistent with the previously defined objectives when it was completed in 2004, it was split into 802.17a, Simple Bridging, and 802.17b, Enhanced Bridging. The enhancements to the 802.17b standard relate to easier integration of Ethernet bridges and the Spatial Reuse Protocol( SRP), among other things.

Later, the working groups 802.17b-2006 Improved Bandwidth Efficiency and 802.17c Protected Inter-Ring Connection were added.
