Self-Healing Network Service (SHNS) is a dedicated network using two concentric ring connecting multiple node locations with fiber optic cable pairs. A combination of fiber ring technology and a series of Intelligent Network Elements (INEs) allows SHNS to automatically detect network failures and reconfigure around them.
The INEs have add-drop multiplexers and appropriate software to give access from your business location (access node) on and off the SHNS ring. Desired ports can be ordered at the Network Interface (NI). The INE copies all entering data frames, sending one copy on the working path and another on the protection path in the opposite direction. At the receiving or destination node, frames on both paths are monitored and compared, and the frame with intact data is selected. If one of the rings goes down, SHNS heals itself.
