As Figure 2-18 shows, DRI allows a circuit (for instance, between nodes A and Z)
with one termination in the upper ring and the other termination in the lower ring to
survive a failure of the shared node that is currently carrying service for the circuit.
The failure is depicted by an "X" in the figure. The two shared nodes are in CO B
and CO C. Both nodes have the signal available to them at all times. When a
failure occurs, the two terminating nodes and the two shared nodes switch so that
traffic is carried through CO C and around the node failure.
