6.2.3  Protection 
The RPR service of the OptiX OSN equipment takes the protection of several levels, 
including: 
 
Wrapping and Steering 
 
Spanning tree and LCAS 
 
Protection of optical transmission layer, such as MSP and SNCP 
1.  Wrapping 
If an equipment or facility failure is detected, the traffic is wrapped back to the opposite 
direction at the stations adjacent to the failure, connecting the outer ring with the inner 
ring. The protection switching time is less than 50ms. Though featuring fast protection 
switching, wrapping protection wastes bandwidth. As illustrated in Figure 6-16, traffic 
is transferred from node 4 to node 1 through nodes 3 and 2. If there is a fiber cut 
between node 2 and node 3, they will wrap the traffic and connect the two rings 
together for protection.
