L2 Metro Ring Network Technologies
Three Main Metro Network Technologies at present are:
1. SDH Metro Ring Network TechnologyUse optical transmission networks carrying IP/Ethernet, to provide service to the upper layer.
2. Ethernet Metro Ring Network TechnologyEthernet metro ring network based on Routers or L3 Ethernet switches. Nodes use the Ethernet ports to form interlinks and routing technology is used to protect the ring.
3. RPR Metro Ring Network TechnologyRPR (Resilient Packet Ring) metro Ethernet use special RPR devices to form a ring. Nodes use the bare fiber for interconnection and based on RPR hardware, 50ms fault protection, QoS and Fair Algorithm is implemented. H3C S9500 switches can use L3 IP Precedence to classify the packets and map with RPR classes of service.
www.h3c.comwww.h3c.com 11
1. SDH/SONET Rings
Ø Traditional SDH network originally was purely for the TDM services, and its interface are E1/E3/STM1 etc, provide point-to-point links for access networks, switches and other equipment. Ø Using IP over SDH technology, it can provide data services and fulfill the enterprise requirement of interlinks, applications etc., between distributed branch offices
Advantages:1. Can provide 10G ring2. Carrier-grade reliability standards 3. Capable of convenient access network expansion, need to consider expanding port capacityDisadvantages:1. Not a QoS guarantee technology, rely on the aggregation routing equipments to deploy QoS.2. Fixed bandwidth allocation and reservation between point-to-point links; when dealing with pure IP
based services, it lack of dynamic and fair bandwidth allocation mechanism. 3. Not support multicast, broadcast and multicasts are send as multiple unicasts, waste of bandwidth. 4. Usually for protection mechanisms, 50% of the bandwidth will be retained and will not provide a
flexible selection mechanism. 5. Not suitable for IP transmission, rely on the access and aggregation equipment for deployment. 6.10G POS ports are expensive. 7. Require a separate transmission management platform, need specialized talented maintenance
staff resulting higher maintenance costs.
www.h3c.comwww.h3c.com 12
Ethernet Ring is not really a ring technology, N point-to-point links pass through N nodes to form a ring.
2. Ethernet Metro Ring Technology
Two Common types of Ethernet Ring NetworkL2 Spanning Tree: Ring nodes connect end-to-end via Ethernet ports, No L3 routing protocols, via STP/RSTP technology nodes prevent switching loops, when links fail, spanning tree recalculates and reestablish the communication in a short period of time。L3 Routing Protocols: Ring nodes connect end-to-end via Ethernet ports, node equipments use L3 routing protocol, prevent loops via L3 routing protocols, when link fails, use routing protocol convergence to implement link protection.
Disadvantages:1. Possible problems in N connected directions and N connected nodes, less reliability 2. It is just an application of group network, no bandwidth management technique, no QoS3. More suitable for mesh network, waste fiber resources4. Both of the above networks methods can not satisfy the metro ring network 50ms fault
protection requirements5. High maintenance cost

RPR is a new kind of OSI Layer two technology standardized by IEEE 802.17 working group. it is essentially, a MAC layer technology based on the use of two counter-rotating rings. Packets in one ring rotates clockwise and counter-clock-wise in the other ring. These counter-rotating rings are called ringletsEach ringlet can carry traffic up to its maximum capacity, so the combined traffic capacity of the two ringlets is actually twice that of a similar ring that applies SONET/SDH Technology

The packet handling functionality within a RPR is built on a Layer 2 MAC protocol. With the RPR MAC, the two ringlets also carry control messages, such as topology updates, protection, and bandwidth control. These messages allow an RPR nodeto differentiate between high-priority and low-priority traffic packets and dynamically negotiate bandwidth between that traffic with other nodes in the ring.A transit buffer in the ring allows RPR nodes to transmit high-priority packets while temporarily holding lower priority packets in the buffer, or use bandwidth-controlmessages to ensure that bandwidth reserved for high priority services stays available

RPR non-overlapping reuse Exclusive biggest bandwidth
l Destination Node Stripping: Unicast packet are stripped off on destination node.
l Spatial multiplexing mechanisms : two kind of reuse non-overlapping and overlapping.
l Automatic bandwidth allocation: RPR Fair Algorithm
l Non-redundant bandwidth : outer and inner ring is backup for each other, fault healing without
reserving the 50% redundant bandwidth as in SDH.
l Broadcast and multicast support: there is only one copy on the packet on the ring, intermediate nodes transfer packets to the next node at the same time, saving abundant bandwidth resources.

RPR supports automatic topology discovery mechanism, plug-and-play. When a new node add to ring, other node automatically broadcast their topology information. The corresponding node identify the new added node from the received topology information, updates it's own topology database, and also broadcast it's new topology information. Others nodes of the ring do the same, in this way the newly added node very quickly construct it's own topology database. When removing a node from the ring, the process basically the same as adding the node.

n All the nodes on the loop broadcast local topology information, other nodes after receiving the topology broadcast information, updates local topology database, ultimately all the nodes of the loop make the same topology database.
n RPR has its own set of ring selection mechanism, mainly according to the destination node's accessibility, shortest path, static allocation to select the ring.
n By default to reach the destination node, select the shortest path, when two path's hop count are same, use the default ring, default sub-ring is 0.
n Static ring selection can be manually configure, static ring selection has higher priority then dynamic ring selection.
RPR Loop Selection Mechanism
www.h3c.comwww.h3c.com 33
RPR Support two kinds of protection method, Steering and WrappingnSteering:In steer mode, when a node incurs a fault, it sends out fault information rapidly in topology protection frames, and simultaneously changes to receive/transmit services on the other ringlet. After receiving topology protection frames from the faulty node, other nodes trigger relative protection processing, recalculate reachability to the destination node, and update the ring selection table to select the other reachable ringlet.nWrapping:In wrap mode, the nodes at both sides of the faulty segment adopt this way. Without the need of updating the ring selection table, other nodes still transmit data along the original route. When data packets reach the faulty node, they are looped back to the other ringlet, transmitting inversely to the node at the other side of the faulty segment. And then, the data packets return to the original ringlet and reach the destination node. Steering will cause some frame loss and Wrapping needs shorter time, but waste bandwidth utilization, H3C S9500 RPR adopts the wrap-then-steer mode

RPR Service Classes Data is classified into three service classes, ClassA traffic is allocated with a committed information rate (CIR) and provides the lowest MAC end-to-end delay and jitter17 bounds.ClassB traffic is allocated with a CIR and provides bounded MAC end-to-end delay and jitter for the amount of traffic within the profile of the CIR. Any classB traffic amount beyond the allocated CIR is referred to as excess information rate (EIR) classB traffic. ClassC traffic is not allocated. ClassB-EIR and classC traffic is marked as fairness eligible and provides no MAC end-to-end delay or jitter bounds.

RPR Disadvantages
As part of RPR standards, some features might be considered as the disadvantages of RPR technology.
1.Traffic Engineering: RPR is, essentially, a connection-less technology. As such, it does not provide any means for traffic engineering. Path cost, path reliability or path optimization of any kind is not taken into consideration. So an operator that wishes to route highly important traffic over a specific reliable path is not able to do so. MPLS Can solve this problem. 2. Fewer Classes for QoS:RPR has only 3 classes for traffic classification. However subclasses A0, A1 along with B, C are enough for most applications.3. Across The Ring QoS:Across the ring Fair Algorithm and QoS mechanism is not well supported
(Standards). This might not be needed in all cases, L3 protocol can solve this issue. 4. Single Ring Protections:Only single ring can switch in 50ms (Standards), but as both rings can send and receive simultaneously, it is still better than SDH.

2. All application data go through data center links, so the link redundancy of these routes must be carefully considered with backup mechanism. To avoid loops RRPP/STP features are required. When the main link work normal, the backup link will be blocked via RRPP/STP, once the main link fail, RRPP/STP will activate the standby link, Application data will always be able to reach the data center.
