IEEE 802.12d-1997

Provide a supplement to the 802.12 standard that defines the implementation and use of redundant repeater uplinks for fault recovery. This will include definition of network management objects related to controlling redundant links, topology rules for redundant links, and standby operation mode including the procedure for transition from standby to active link operation. The provision of a redundant uplink will be optional. Implementation and use of redundant links for end nodes may also be defined. This work will be applicable independent of data rate.
