[RPRWG] FYI: Resilient backplane ring (RBR) study group web site
All,
We have just about overdone our welcome for announcing
a possibly interesting study group (hopefully soon an
IEEE Working Group). I have obtained our own reflector
address, so the not-always-appreciated load on others
reflectors can be avoided. Information is:
Resilient backplane ring (RBR)
Scope:
Resilient backplane ring (RBR) is a backplane interconnect
based on the dual-ring resilient topology of resilient
packet ring (RPR) and the 802 MAC addressing structure.
RBR includes features appropriate for the low-latency
backplane environment: destination-based flow control,
low-power short-haul PHY, backplane-to-backplane links,
transport of IEEE-1394 isochronous data, and support of
IEEE-1596 memory-update operations.
Purpose:
The purpose of this project is to leverage the benefits
of network-compatible resilient interconnects within the
low-latency backplane environment.
