  1. RequirementsJanuary 15-17, 2007London, England IEEE 802.17 RPRWG

  2. 802.17c Proposed Requirements • Requires no changes to non-interconnect stations on the ring (running previous versions of 802.17) to benefit from PIRC • Support rings interconnect through dual-station homing • Provide sub 50msec protection • Prevent loops in normal and protection states, and during the transient process between the states • Support for local tributary interfaces in interconnecting stations • Allow for various load balancing techniques across interconnect stations • The load balancing shall allow unicast forwarding (prevent persistent flooding) IEEE 802.17 RPRWG

  3. 802.17c Proposed Requirements (cont’) • Support multiple network topologies: • an interconnect station may belong to multiple protection groups • an interconnection station may peer with different interconnection stations for different interconnect groups • interconnect stations may occupy any relative position in a ring • PIRC will be used on networks that do not have loops aside from those created by a single PIRC group • (majority but not unanimous support) • PIRC will be used on networks that do not have loops aside from those created by PIRC groups (john’s preference) • Allow implementation of interconnecting station as two separate stations with back-to-back connections IEEE 802.17 RPRWG

  4. 802.17c Proposed Requirements (cont’) • Provide maintenance commands (e.g. manual switch-over) • Support both point-to-point and multi-point-to-multi-point services • Attend the MAC table scalability issue • controversial • Support for efficient selective MAC table flush IEEE 802.17 RPRWG
