The SDRs require additional distinct IP addresses that will allow them to communicate with remote SDRs. Usually, the IP addresses are routable addresses with a properly configured gateway. For redundancy, each SDR has two IP addresses. Each SDR listens on the IP addresses of the same node as the SDSs and, therefore, can reach all SDSs in the protection domain.
