◆
The ring node identifier is used to identify a node in R-APS messages
for both automatic and manual switching recovery operations.
For example, a node that has one ring port in SF condition and detects
that the condition has been cleared, will continuously transmit R-APS
(NR) messages with its own Node ID as priority information over both
ring ports, informing its neighbors that no request is present at this
node. When another recovered node holding the link blocked receives
this message, it compares the Node ID information with its own. If the
received R-APS (NR) message has a higher priority, this unblocks its
ring ports. Otherwise, the block remains unchanged.
◆
The node identifier may also be used for debugging, such as to
distinguish messages when a node is connected to more than one ring.
