No R-APS messages are inserted or extracted by other rings or sub-
rings at the interconnection nodes where a sub-ring is attached. Hence
there is no need for either additional bandwidth or for different VIDs/
Ring IDs for the ring interconnection. Furthermore, protection switching
time for a sub-ring is independent from the configuration or topology of
the interconnected rings. In addition, this option always ensures that
an interconnected network forms a tree topology regardless of its
interconnection configuration. This means that it is not necessary to
take precautions against forming a loop which is potentially composed
of a whole interconnected network.
