Ballot Text

Technical Summary

This document specifies a basic method of encapsulating IPv4, IPv6, and
MPLS datagrams into IEEE 802.17 Resilient packet ring (RPR) datagrams.
'Basic' means that the higher layers treat RPR as a broadcast media
(future encapsulations may specify how to control RPR). As a result, the
mapping is straightforward -- the majority of the detail is focused on
showing a default mapping between IP & MPLS service classes and RPR
service classes.

Working Group Summary

Consensus is strong in the IPoRPR WG. A Joint Last Call was issued in the
MPLS and IPoRPR WGs.

Protocol Quality

This mapping is already generally in use. It is hoped that the
publication of this proposed standard will promote usage of a single
default service class mapping to improve interoperability.
