Point-to-Point Traffic Overlay on a Ring
Point-to point overlay operation is illustrated in Figure 3-50. The additional
capacity needed for overlay is required only on the overlaid links. Overlaid
traffic is not ring protected.
Figure 3-50. Example of a Ring Network with Point-to-Point Traffic Overlay
In this example the links between nodes C, D and E are carrying 32xE1
point-to-point non-protected traffic as well as 32xE1 ring-protected traffic.
Ring-Node Intersection
Using the INUe, two or three rings can intersect at one node.
