12.4.1 BLSR DRI
Figure 12-18 shows ONS 15454 nodes in a traditional BLSR-DRI topology with same-side routing. In
Ring 1, Nodes 3 and 4 are the interconnect nodes, and i n Ring 2, Nodes 8 and 9 are the interconnect
nodes. Duplicate signals are sent between Node 4 (Ring 1) and Node 9 (Ring 2), and between Node 3
(Ring 1) and Node 8 (Ring 2). The primary nodes (Nodes 4 and 9) are on the same side, and the
secondary nodes (Nodes 3 and 8) provide an alternative route. In Ring 1, traffic at Node 4 is drop ped (to
Node 9) and continued (to Node 3). Similarly, at Node 9, traffic is dropped (to N ode 4) and continued
(to Node 8).
