Two Basic RPR Interconnection Topologies Topology A Topology B
The Comparison of Two Topologies – Cont. Tentative Conclusion (need further discussion): When the requirement of network deployment flexibility outweighs the cost, then the Topology B is used, or else the Topology A is recommended in the RPR interconnection rings network.
The following slides will illustrate the different application scenarios for the interconnected RPR rings. The following figures take the Topology A as example, but the same topologies also apply to Topology B as well.
Application Scenario 1 • There are several subtending rings across one ring. • Each pair of interconnected stations ({A, B} and {C,D}) are independent and belong to different protection groups.
Application Scenario 2 • There are several subtending rings across one ring, and these subtending rings share a common station. • Each pair of interconnected stations ({A, B} and {B, C}) are independent and belong to different protection groups.
Application Scenario 3 • There are several subtending rings across one ring, and these subtending rings share the same interconnection stations. • For the usual deployment, subtending access rings are not communicated each other, they only need to communicate with the aggregation rings. • But if the subtending access rings need to communicate each other, they still can at the cost of some implementation complexity.
Application Scenario 4 • We don’t want support this disordered topologies. Do we want?
