Dear Readers,

I face a problem where I have not found an appropriate answer, yet.
I have a dedicated ring topology in a network. To simply manage opening
the ring we can use STP and its derivatives (e.g. mstpd). I also found th=
at
there is support for Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) in the Linux kernel
which may fit my needs better. However, I'm wondering how to use it since
the bridge commands mentioned in the Patch have not been implemented yet,
although the first patch set was more than 3 years back. Moreover, in add=
ition
to automatic rerouting via other nodes in case of topology changes,
I need information about changes in the topology itself, even if the rout=
e
is currently not used. Is there any option provided in SW or even in the =
Kernel to
achieve this goal. It is a kind of predictive maintenance.

Thanks in advance.
