The RSTP solution is based on open standards. It is therefore compatible with other Manufacturers' IEDs
that use the RSTP protocol. The RSTP recovery time is typically 300 ms but it increases with network size,
therefore cannot achieve the desired bumpless redundancy.

SELF-HEALING PROTOCOL (SHP)

Unlike RSTP, the Alstom Grid SHP solution responds to the constraints of critical time applications such as
the GOOSE messaging of IEC 61850. SHP in MiCOM Px4x is fully compatible with SHP used in the MiCOM
C264 and MiCOM H series of switches that are components of the PACiS Substation Automation System.
SHP is applied to double-ring network topologies. When a fibre is broken, both end stations detect the break.
Using both the primary and redundant networks the ring is automatically reclosed.
