Re: [RPRWG] Resilient backplane ring (RBR) study group web site
All,
The next RBR meeting location has changed, due to a change-of-heart
with our sponsor. To avoid disappointing any readers of the past
email, the same email list was used for this notification.
Please excuse me if this email is not of interest. This will be the
last RBR related email you will receive over a non-RBR related
email address. If you wish to track this activity further, you
should signup for the study-group reflector.

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.
