ERPS network diagrams

One major ring

The network has one major ring.

Figure 27: Network diagram

One major ring connecting one subring

The network has one major ring and one subring.

Figure 28: Network diagram

One major ring connecting multiple subrings

The network has three or more rings. Each subring is connected to the major ring by two interconnection nodes.

Figure 29: Network diagram

One subring connecting multiple subrings

The network has three or more rings. As shown in Figure 30, subring 1 is connected to the major ring. Other subrings are connected to subring 1 by two interconnection nodes.

Figure 30: Network diagram

One subring connecting multiple rings

The network has three or more rings. A minimum of one subring is connected to two rings. As shown in Figure 31, one interconnection node on subring 2 is connected to the major ring; and another interconnection node is connected to subring 1. As shown in Figure 32, subring 3 is connected to subring 1 and subring 2.
