Holdoff timer - Hold-off timer is used to filter out intermittent link faults when link failure occurs.
This timer is used during the protection switching process when link failure occurs. When a ring
node detects a link’s failure, it will start the hold off timer. It will report the link failure event (R-APS
BPDU with SF flag) after the link failure is confirmed within this period of time.
Guard timer - Guard timer is used to prevent ring nodes from receiving outdated R-APS
messages. This timer is used during the protection switching process when link failure recovers.
When the link node detects that the link failure is recovered, it will report the link failure recovery
event (R-APS PDU with NR flag) and start the guard timer before the guard timer expires, all
received R-APS messages are ignored by this ring node. Therefore, the blocking state of the
recovered link will not be recovered within this period of time. This time should be greater than the
maximum expected forwarding delay for which one R-APS message circles around the ring.
WTR timer - WTR timer is used to prevent frequent operation of the protection switch due to an
intermittent defect. This timer is used during the protection switching process when a link failure
recovers. This timer is only used by the RPL owner. When the RPL owner in protection state
receives R-APS PDU with an NR flag, it will start the WTR timer. The RPL owner will block the
original unblocked RPL port and start to send R-APS PDU with an RB flag after the link recovery is
confirmed within this period of time.
