MSPPs use SPRs or RPRs to carry Ethernet data services over SONET/SDH. SPRs are built by concatenating SONET STS-1s or SDH VC-3s. For example, an OC-48 UPSR SONET ring has 48 protected STS-1s. Out of these 48 STS-1s, 12 of them could be concatenated to form an SPR-12 that would interconnect the 802.1D bridges on the MSPP nodes to each other. The remaining 36 STS-1s are free to be used for TDM traffic or for creating other SPRs. RPR technology uses a new Layer 2 protocol for the MAN and WAN and combines the advantages of both SONET/SDH and Ethernet.
There are three types of Ethernet over SONET/SDH encapsulations:
