Switching resiliency Sample Clauses

Switching resiliency. ‌ Basic protection can also be implemented by daisy-chaining several ▇▇▇▇ one to each other. L2 SW This architecture provides a common interface to the CO, which means that the group of ▇▇▇▇ connected in the chain shares a bidirectional 10 Gb/s ring (20 Gb/s total capacity). CO ARN #1 L2 SW ARN #2 L2 SW ARN #3 ARN #4 L2 SW In order to efficiently switch traffic flows and avoid loops, L2 features, like Spanning Tree protocols need to be implemented. However, this is not seen as a future-proofed approach and also limits the total capacity of the network. That said, an advantage of this approach is that it allows geographic bandwidth allocation to specific ▇▇▇▇ depending on the traffic needs.
