Abstract
Provided is an RPR ring network system including: a plurality of RPR station devices; and a ring for interconnecting the plurality of RPR station devices, in which a section between adjacent RPR station devices is defined as a section of the ring, a bandwidth different from bandwidths of other sections are allocated to at least one section, and each of the RPR station devices transmits a frame, in the case of transmitting the frame to the other RPR station device through the ring, by a transmission bandwidth with a minimum value of a bandwidth allocated to a section through which the frame flows set as an upper limit.
Claims6
An RPR ring network system comprising:
- a plurality of resilient packet ring (RPR) station devices;
- and
- a ring for interconnecting the plurality of RPR station devices,
- wherein a section between adjacent RPR station devices is defined as a section of the ring, at least one section has a bandwidth different from bandwidths of other sections, and each of the RPR station devices determines a transmission bandwidth for transmitting frames to one of the RPR station devices through the ring so that an upper limit of the determined transmission bandwidth becomes a minimum value of a bandwidth allocated to each section that the frames will flow.
