5.  Fairness Algorithm 
The outer ring and the inner ring of an RPR support independent weighted fairness 
algorithm. The fairness algorithm assures access of the low-class B_EIR and C 
services. The weight of the fairness algorithm is provisionable to decide the access 
rate of a node. A node needs to set weights at the outer and the inner rings, and the 
two weights decide the bandwidth of low-class services upon bandwidth contention. 
As shown in Figure 6-11, the outer ring weights of nodes 2, 3 and 4 are 1. Suppose the 
available bandwidth on the outer ring for low-class services is 1.2 Gbit/s, the fairness 
algorithm will allocate 400 Mbit/s for the low-class services from nodes 2, 3 and 4 to 
node 1 respectively. Figure 6-12 shows a fairness algorithm with different weights: the 
weights of nodes 2, 3 and 4 on the outer ring are 1, 3 and 2 respectively. The fairness 
algorithm allocates 200 Mbit/s for node 2, 600 Mbit/s for node 3 and 400 Mbit/s for 
node 4.
