Metro Ring Protocol
From HandWiki
The Metro Ring Protocol (MRP) is a proprietary Layer 2 resilience protocol developed by Foundry Networks and currently[when?] being delivered in products manufactured by Brocade Communications Systems and Hewlett Packard.[1][2]: 322 The protocol quite tightly specifies a topology in which layer 2 devices, usually at the core of a larger network, are configured and as such is able to achieve much faster failover times than other Layer 2 protocols such as Spanning Tree Protocol.
