Abstract
Resilient Packet Ring is a novel metro access standard. Here, we analyze it from the reliability viewpoint. The reliability function, availability as well as Mean Time to Failure metrics are analyzed. Simulation experiments are performed to confirm that the formulas obtained on the theoretical basis are correct.
