As shown in Figure 10-3, the networking consists of the access layer, aggregation layer,
and core layer. The CE is dual-homed to the upstream Layer 2 network through LSW1 to
LSW5. LSW1 to LSW5 form an open ring network. The open ring network is deployed at
the access layer to implement Layer 2 transparent transmission of unicast and multicast
packets. SEP runs at the access layer to implement link redundancy.
On a closed ring network, an edge interface is deployed on each of the two edge devices.

As shown in Figure 10-4, the CEs are dual-homed to the upstream Layer 2 network through
LSW1 to LSW5. The edge devices LSW1 and LSW5 are directly connected to each other.
LSW1 to LSW5 form a closed ring network. The closed ring network is deployed at the
aggregation layer to aggregate unicast and multicast services. SEP runs at the aggregation
layer to implement link redundancy.
On a closed ring network, two edge interfaces are deployed on one edge device.
