Hi,

Thanks, Mike. I had thought of it. But don't you think the overhead is too
high when it is used in the metro area? I suppose there be thousands of
ethernet hosts connected to the metro net. so the RPR ring will be full of
STP control frames all the time. Am I right?

I am a new comer to RPR. Maybe this point had been talked about?


Thanks & Best Regards.

Hello,

802.17 must support 802.1D&Q transparent bridging as part of
our 5 Criteria. Therefore, an RPR ring is no different than
any other 802 LAN.
