Table 13-1: Topologies supported by RADWIN Ethernet Ring
Stand-alone ring
The ring is not connected to other rings
Single-homed ring
One of the nodes is connected to another network / ring:
Dual-homed ring
Two adjacent nodes are connected through a non-RADWIN link (e.g. micro
wave or fiber):

• The ring control broadcasts RPM packets. Hence it is recommended to
prevent these packets from propagating into the network
