shows ONS 15454 nodes in a traditional drop-and-continue path protection DRI topology.
In Ring 1, Nodes 4 and 5 are the interconnect nodes, and in Ring 2, Nodes 6 and 7 are the interconnect
nodes. Duplicate signals are sent between Node 4 (Ring 1) and Node 6 (Ring 2), and between Node 5
(Ring 1) and Node 7 (Ring 2). In Ring 1, traffic at Node 4 is dropped (to Node 6) and continued (to Node
5). Similarly, at Node 5, traffic is dropped (to Node 7) and continued (to Node 4).
