IEC 62439 - High availability automation network
http://lamspeople.epfl.ch/kirrmann/Pubs/IEC_62439-1/IEC_62439_Summary.pdf Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) is a data network protocol standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission as IEC 62439-2. It allows rings of Ethernet switches to overcome any single failure with recovery time much faster than achievable with Spanning Tree Protocol . [1] It is suitable to most Industrial Ethernet applications. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_Redundancy_Protocol Parallel Redundancy Protocol ( PRP ) is a network protocol standard for Ethernet that provides seamless failover against failure of any network component. This redundancy is invisible to the application. PRP nodes have two ports and are attached to two separated networks of similar topology. PRP can be implemented entirely in software, i.e. integrated in the network driver. Nodes with single attachment can be attach...
