ABSTRACT:
A method for configuration of a node inserted into a bidirectional ring network includes, responsive to traffic on first and second rings of the network, determining at the node that one of the first and second rings carries the traffic in a clockwise direction around the network, while the other of the rings carries the traffic in a counterclockwise direction. The node then sends and receives advertisement packets through its network interfaces over the respective rings, advertising the determined directions of the traffic carried by the rings. Responsive to the advertisement packets received at the node, the configuration of the node is completed so that the traffic can be sent to and from the node on the first and second rings in the determined directions.
