ADVA Adds G.8032v2 for Carrier Ethernet Ring Protection
ADVA Optical Networking has added Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) to its
FSP 150 family, enabling business Ethernet and mobile backhaul service providers to aggregate subrate Gigabit Ethernet services onto Gigabit or even 10 Gigabit Ethernet protected rings using a drop-and-continue architecture.
ERPS, also known as G.8032v2, is an ITU-T standard that provides sub 50 millisecond protection and recovery switching, ensuring highest reliability for ring-based Carrier Ethernet infrastructures.

You just read about Ethernet. Here is what it replaced:
Token Bus (802.4) served 1982–1990. What ultimately replaced it?
Token Bus (802.4) formed a logical token-passing ring over a physical coax bus, so factory-floor stations got deterministic, collision-free access (favored by GM's MAP initiative). Its job passed to Ethernet — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
