SRP - Spatial Reuse protocol
SRP - Spatial Reuse protocol. This is used for fiber rings, its where the destination nodes pulls the info from the ring so it doesn’t loop endlessly.
Spatial Reuse Protocol (SRP) is a media-independent MAC layer protocol that operates over two counter rotating fiber-optic rings. The dual rings provide survivability of data in case of a failed node or a break in
connecting cables by rerouting the data path over the alternate ring. SRP provides a more efficient use of
bandwidth by having packets traverse only the part of the ring necessary to get to the destination node. Once the packet has reached the destination node, it is removed from the ring, allowing other parts of the ring to reuse the bandwidth. Data packets travel on one ring, while associated control packets travel in the opposite direction on the alternate ring, ensuring that the data takes the shortest path to its destination.
RPR - Resilient Packet Ring - 802.17
- Steering: Nodes are told the affected node is down and don’t include it.
- Wrapping: The node closest to the break route the traffic on the other direction of the ring.
Side A Always connects to Side B.
