RE: [RPRWG] Query on RPR



Ed,
 
Fairness frames are sent across an edge only for their keepalive function. This enables neighbors to determine which links are currently functional, independent of official span status.
 
RPR rings can be connected together through standard 802 MAC bridging, and through other means not addressed by 802.

Subject: [RPRWG] Query on RPR

Folks,
 
Have several questions from my side:
 
1) What is the purpose of sending the fairness frames across an edge ?
 
2) Is it possible to connect several RPR rings together in a network ?
