Folded ring application
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The figure below shows an STM-1 or STM-4 Folded Ring application.
Compared to the linear application in
(p.
3-2), the folded-ring provides extra reliability by protecting the NE chain by
building a ring. Within the chain NEs can flexibly be added or removed while the
protection within the ring remains untouched. However, note that 1 + 1 MSP protection
is only available for STM-1 transmission.
