About RRPP

The Rapid Ring Protection Protocol (RRPP) is a link layer protocol designed for Ethernet rings. RRPP can prevent broadcast storms caused by data loops when an Ethernet ring is healthy. RRPP can also rapidly restore the communication paths between the nodes when a link is disconnected on the ring. Compared with the spanning tree protocol, the convergence time of RRPP is fast and independent of the number of nodes in the Ethernet ring. RRPP is applicable to large-diameter networks.
