Josh- Did your upstream engineer find an alternative solution or pursue a new protocol?

Scott, I had been talking to our upstream's primary network engineer a few weeks back. They tested G8032v2 stuff from several vendors, and ended up pulling it completely after a full year of testing. Ring topology is a pretty dead design when "mesh" type options are available with OSPF/IS-IS/MPLS. Some of the things about 8032v2 are nice, but they will also be found in SPB. What we need is for Accedian to sell the continuous-throughput-testing patent they have to another vendor. josh reynolds :: chief information officer spitwspots :: www.spitwspots.com<http://www.spitwspots.com> On 11/30/2014 09:17 PM, Scott Vander Dussen via Af wrote: Seems like the new AFMUG list scraped my PDF attachment off that last email, here's a dropbox link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6582330/WebJunk/ERPS_Towers.pdf Scott -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Vander Dussen via Af Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2014 22:11 To: 'AF Cambium List ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>)' Subject: [AFMUG] ERPS: G.8032 vs Brocade MRP vs ? Looking to add Ethernet ring protection switching into our network. I've attached a PDF demonstrating the topology of the test tower set. I'm leaning toward a G.8032v2 implementation simply because it's ITU standards based and not vendor specific. Other options include Brocade MRP, Moxa Turbo Chain, etc. Any shared wisdom would be greatly appreciate before we get ourselves pot committed. Scott
