Dual-Homed Path-Switched Ring Example

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