Dual-Homed OC-3/OC-1 Path-Switched Ring
Example 8
Dual-homing offers even more survivability than a single-homed network, as even
the catastrophic failure of a host node can be protected. Figure 8-9 shows an
example of a dual-homed OC-1 extension from two remote nodes on an OC-3
access ring. The NEs on the OC-3 ring can be either DDM-2000 OC-3
Multiplexers or
SLC
-2000 Access Systems.
