DFrames received on a ring port must have an
±The pretag is 0.
±The two IDs within the pretag are not the same.
±The ID within the received pretag is the same as ringid. This identifies a frame that originated at this device, and that has passed completely around the ring.
The pretag format is shown in Figure 8.
