RAPS PDUs
RAPS PDUs
ERPS protocol packets are called Ring Auto Protection Switching (RAPS) Protocol Data Units (PDUs), which are transmitted in ERPS rings to convey ERPS ring information. Figure 12-5 shows the RAPS PDU format.
Identifies the maintenance entity group (MEG) level of the RAPS PDU.
Version
5 bits
0x00: ERPSv1
0x01: EPRSv2
OpCode
8 bits
Indicates an RAPS PDU. The value of this field is 0x28.
Flags
8 bits
Is ignored upon RAPS PDU receiving. The value of this field is 0x00.
TLV Offset
8 bits
Indicates that the TLV starts after an offset of 32 bytes. The value of this field is 0x20.
R-APS Specific Information
32x8 bits
Is the core field in an RAPS PDU and carries ERPS ring information. There are differences between sub-fields in ERPSv1 and ERPSv2. Figure 12-6 shows the R-APS Specific Information field format in ERPSv1. Figure 12-7 shows the R-APS Specific Information field format in ERPSv2.
TLV
Not limited
Describes information to be loaded. The end TLV value is 0x00.

Length
Description
Request/State
4 bits
Indicates that this RAPS PDU is a request or state PDU. The value can be:
1101: forced switch (FS)
1110: Event
1011: signal failed (SF)
0111: manual switch (MS)
0000: no request (NR)
Others: reserved
Reserved 1
4 bits
Reserved 1 is used in ERPSv1 for message reply or protection identifier.
Sub-code is used in ERPSv2. The value depends on the Request/State field value:
If the Request/State field value is 1110, the Sub-code value is 0000, indicating FDB entry update.
If the Request/State field value is any other value than 1110, the Sub-code value is 0000 and ignored upon RAPS PDU receiving.
Sub-code
Status
8 bits
Includes the following status information:
RPL Blocked (RB) (1 bit): The value 1 indicates that the RPL owner port is blocked; the value 0 indicates that the RPL owner port is unblocked. The nodes where the RPL owner port is not configured set this sub-field to 0 in outgoing RAPS PDUs.
Do Not Flush (DNF) (1 bit): The value 1 indicates that FDB entries are not updated when RAPS PDUs are received; the value 0 indicates that FDB entries may be updated when RAPS PDUs are received.
Blocked port reference (BPR) (1 bit): The value 0 indicates that ring link 0 is blocked. The value 1 indicates that ring link 1 is blocked.
BPR is valid only in ERPSv2.
Status Reserved: This sub-field is reserved. This sub-field is all 0s during RAPS PDU transmission, and is ignored upon RAPS PDU receiving. In ERPSv1, this sub-field has 6 bits. In ERPSv2, this sub-field has 5 bits.
Node ID
6 x 8 bits
Identifies the MAC address of a node in an ERPS ring. It is informational and does not affect protection switching in the ERPS ring.
Reserved 2
24 x 8 bits
Is reserved and ignored upon RAPS PDU receiving. The value is all 0 during RAPS PDU transmission.
