802.17: Resilient Packet Ring Working Group

The IEEE 802.17 Resilient Packet Ring Working Group (RPRWG) will define a 
Resilient Packet Ring Access Protocol for use in Local, Metropolitan and 
Wide Area Networks for transfer of data packets at rates scalable to many
gigabits per second. The new standard will use existing Physical Layer 
specifications and will develop new PHYs where appropriate.

In Metropolitan and Wide Area Networks, fiber optic rings are widely deployed.
These rings are currently using protocols that are neither optimized nor 
scalable to the demands of packet networks, including speed of deployment, 
bandwidth allocation and throughput, resiliency to faults, and reduced 
equipment and operational costs.
