Abstract
Resilient packet ring (RPR) is a metropolitan area network technology for data transfer based on ring configuration and is standardized as IEEE 802.17. RPR testing is challenging as it combines best of SONET networks and data networks. The paper provides guidelines for generation of standard compliant test suite, recommends simulated environments for RPR testing and puts forward a strategy for automation of RPR testing. The paper describes various stages of RPR testing and the challenges considering entire project cycle.
