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
availablewith 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.

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
