Resilient Packet Ring (RPR), also known as IEEE 802.17, is a protocol standard designed for the optimized transport of data traffic over optical fiber ring networks. The standard began development in November 2000 and has undergone several amendments since its initial standard was completed in June 2004. The amended standards are 802.17a through 802.17d, the last of which was adopted in May 2011. It is designed to provide the resilience found in SONET/SDH networks (50 ms protection) but, instead of setting up circuit oriented connections, provides a packet based transmission, in order to increase the efficiency of Ethernet and IP services.
A method and device for forwarding a message in a resilient packet ring
The application provides a resilient packet ring message forwarding method and device. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a cross-device link aggregation announcement message through a resilient packet ring network; allocating a RPR cross-device link aggregation identifier for a RPR MAC address of a member node carried by the cross-device link aggregation announcement message; receiving an Ethernet unicast message; when a destination MAC address of the received Ethernet unicast message corresponds to a RPR cross-device link aggregation identifier; performing hash calculation according to the Ethernet unicast message, taking a RPR MAC address of a member node corresponding to a result of the hash calculation as a destination RPR MAC address, taking a RPR MAC address of the current node as a source RPR MAC address, and encapsulating the received Ethernet unicast message into a RPR unicast message; and sending the RPR unicast message through an out port of a shortest RPR path reaching the destination RPR MAC address of the RPR unicast message.

A message forwarding method and device
The present application provides a message forwarding method and device, wherein the method comprises: setting a resilient packet ring distributed aggregation group to connect a non-distributed aggregation RPR node of an RPR ring network; setting a distributed aggregation group to connect an external network device of the RPR ring network; setting a broadcast message filtering table entry to prohibit forwarding an Ethernet broadcast message received through an internal control link IPP port through a local member port of the resilient packet ring distributed aggregation group and a local distributed aggregation port of the distributed aggregation group; when an Ethernet broadcast message is received through the distributed aggregation group, learning a first MAC address table entry based on a source MAC address of the received Ethernet broadcast message and the distributed aggregation group; sending the received Ethernet broadcast message through the internal control link IPP port, and broadcasting in a virtual local area network to which the received Ethernet broadcast message belongs; encapsulating the received Ethernet broadcast message into an RPR broadcast message and forwarding it in the RPR ring network.
