Abstract :
The Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) is a packet network technology designed to provide broadband traffic transport in a metropolitan area according to IEEE 802.17 specifications. Its advantages include flexibility in bandwidth allocation, fairness and traffic shaping criteria for the acceptance of elastic transit traffic, as well as highly reliable transport. Here we focus on possible future amendments to these specifications (such as inclusion of efficient coding / modulation schemes) that would allow RPRs to support reliably wireless traffic as well.
