packets frequently. If more subrings are configured or if load balancing is configured for multiple 
domains, Device B and Device C will send or receive a mass of Edge-Hello packets.  
To reduce Edge-Hello traffic, you can assign Ring 2 and Ring 3 to an RRPP ring group configured on the 
edge node Device B and assign Ring 2 and Ring 3 to an RRPP ring group configured on Device C. After 
such configurations, if all rings are activated, only Ring 2 on Device B sends Edge-Hello packets.  
Typical RRPP networking 
Here are several typical networking applications. 
Single ring 
As shown in Figure 12, only a single ring exists in the network topology. You only need to define an RRPP 
domain.

Tangent rings 
As shown in Figure 13, two or more rings are in the network topology and only one common node exists 
between rings. You must define an RRPP domain for each ring.
