9.3 Ethernet (G.8032) rings
Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP), as specified in ITU-T G.8032, is a protection
mechanism for Ethernet ring topologies that provides a resilient Ethernet network.
ERP provides sub-50 ms protection and recovery switching for Ethernet traffic in a
ring topology while ensuring that loops are not formed at the Ethernet layer.
G.8032v1 supports a single ring topology; G.8032v2 supports multiple rings/ladder
topology. For more information about Ethernet (G.8032) rings, see the ITU website
at http://itu.int
.
ERP topology
An ERP topology is a collection of Ethernet ring nodes that forms a closed physical
loop. Between two and sixteen Ethernet ring nodes are supported per ERP topology.
One ERP topology is supported per NE. Up to two ERP instances are supported per
ERP topology. Ethernet ring links connect two adjacent Ethernet ring nodes
participating in the same ERP topology.
Loop avoidance in the ring is achieved by guaranteeing that at anytime, traffic may
flow on all but one of the ring links. This link is called the ring protection link (RPL).
One designated node, the RPL Owner (also referred to as the master node), is
responsible to block traffic over the RPL.
