X-Ring Application
The X-ring protocol is supported which helps the network to recover from network
connection failures within 300ms or less, therefore, making the network more reliable.
The X-ring algorithm is similar to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid STP (RSTP),
but its recovery time is less than STP/RSTP. The following figure illustrates an example
of the X-ring protocol:
