scope:
This standard defines a resilient packet ring access protocol for use in local, metropolitan, and wide area networks, along with appropriate physical layer specifications for transfer of data packets at rates scalable to multiple gigabits per second.
Purpose
The standard defines a very high-speed network protocol that is optimized for packet transmission in resilient ring topologies needing service quality differentiation, efficient use of bandwidth, fair use of bandwidth, ease of use, and robustness.
