12.2.1 Two-Fiber BLSRs
Figure 12-2 Four-Node, Two-Fiber BLSR Traffic Pattern Sample
Figure 12-3 shows how traffic is rerouted following a line break between Node 0 and Node 3.
All circuits originating on Node 0 that carried traffic to Node 2 on Fiber 2 are switched to the protect
bandwidth of Fiber 1. For example, a circuit carrying traffic on STS-1 on Fiber 2 is switched to
STS-25 on Fiber 1. A circuit carried on STS-2 on Fiber 2 is switched to STS-26 on Fiber 1. Fiber 1
carries the circuit to Node 3 (the original routing destination). Node 3 switches the circuit back to
STS-1 on Fiber 2 where it is routed to Node 2 on STS-1.
Circuits originating on Node 2 that normally carried traffic to Node 0 on Fibe r 1 are switched to the
protect bandwidth of Fiber 2 at Node 3. For example, a circuit carrying traffic on STS-2 on Fiber 1
is switched to STS-26 on Fiber 2. Fiber 2 carries the circuit to Node 0 where the circuit is switched
back to STS-2 on Fiber 1 and then dropped to its destination.
