Title :
Utilizing fiber optic rings for network survivability and restoration
Abstract :
The options and considerations involved in implementing fiber rings are examined. Ring types and network management are discussed. It is concluded that the implementation of rings will be based on how well they fit into the customer´s current and future network. Such factors as network topology, speed of restoral, compliance with standards, and network management will determine the suitable ring architecture that will be deployed
