10.2.1.2 Multihubbed Traffic Topology
A multihubbed traffic topology (Figure 10-2) is based on the hubbed traffic topology, except that two or 
more hub nodes are added. Protected traffic can only be established between the two hub nodes. 
Protected traffic can be provisioned between a hub node and any OADM node only if the allocated 
wavelength channel is regenerated through the other hub node. Multihop traffic can be provisioned on 
this ring. From a transmission point of view, this network topology is similar to two or more 
point-to-point links with OADM nodes.
