Figure 12-14 ONS 15454 Traditional BLSR Dual-Ring Interconnect (Opposite-Side Routing)
Figure 12-15 shows ONS 15454s in an integrated BLSR-DRI topology. The same drop-and-continue
traffic routing occurs at two nodes, rather than four. This is achieved by installing an additional OC-N
trunk at the two interconnect nodes. Nodes 3 and 8 are the interconnect nodes.
