1. RPR is just a derivative of DPT.
   False - DPT is an early, proprietary protocol related to RPR but it is not a direct derivative.
    
2. RPR replaces point to point Ethernet solutions.
   True - It does, but it also promotes the use of resilient, carrier class rings for packets.
    
3. RPR requires you to build a new data infrastructure.
   False - It doesn't; it will operate over existing Ethernet or SONET infrastructures.
    
4. RPR has not been deployed yet.
   False - Many systems have been deployed and operational for extensive periods of time.
    
5. RPR has poor latency.
   False - It does not. Applying Quality of Service (QoS) allows RPR to differentiate traffic, and minimize latency.
    
6. RPR's protection scheme sacrifices latency.
   False - Once again, not true. You may protect as much or as little of the traffic as desired per flow without sacrificing transmission speed.
