SEP multi-instance allows two SEP segments to be configured on a physical ring. Each SEP
segment independently detects the completeness of the physical ring, blocks or unblocks
interfaces without affecting the other.
A physical ring may contain one or two SEP segments. Each SEP segment needs to be configured
with a protected instance, each protected instance indicating a VLAN range. The topology
calculated by a SEP segment is only valid for that SEP segment.
After different protected instances are configured for SEP segments and the mapping between
protected instances and VLANs is set, a blocked interface is only valid for the VLANs protected
by the SEP segment where the blocked interface resides. Data traffic for different VLANs can
be transmitted along different paths. This implements traffic load balancing and link backup.
