Re: objectives list
Dave,
My thoughts are in-line bold-faced.
Cheers,
BJ

At the last meeting, I signed up to capture
working group objectives. Since
I have not seen any yet, I am including some in order to start
discussion.
- Define a mechanism to support dual counter rotating rings as one
lan
segment
- Support interfaces to 4 physical layer rates
1GE, 10GE, OC48, OC192
*** needs also include OC12?
- Support Jumbo frame Sizes
- Define a mechanism to support sub 50msec protection switching
- Define a flow control mechanism to dynamically allocate fair
bandwidth
- Define a mechanism that simultaneously uses both rings for control
and
data
- Define a multicast mechanism
- Support plug and play
- Define a destination stripping mechanism for efficient use of
bandwidth
- Meet requirements for 802.1d,q,f
*** Compatibility with 802.1F may not be an issue? It seems
sufficient
to say RPR will be compatible with SNMP, and
IETF defined MIB?
