RE: Next Steps toward an RPR Draft Standard

[Howard Frazier <hfrazier@xxxxxxxxx>]

Raj,

I thought that the work of the RPRSG was to create a layer 2 protocol
that was optimized for data transfer.  I don't recall seeing the
words "multi service" in the PAR that we unanimously agreed upon.

That said, I do not see why Voice, Video and Data can't be carried on
an RPR which uses an 802.3 gigabit or 10 gigabit physical layer.
What's magic about the SONET physical layer in this regard?
