This reports whether this virtual ring is configured to automatically revert traffic back to its normal (working) path once a fault clears and the wait-to-restore timer expires, versus staying on the protection path until manually switched back. A non-revertive ring is a deliberate choice for services where an admin wants to control the exact moment traffic moves back, but if left non-revertive unintentionally, traffic can remain on a protection path indefinitely after the original fault is long gone, silently forgoing the ring's intended primary path. For example, a revertive ring would see traffic automatically move back to the original link a few minutes after a repaired fiber shows stable signal, whereas a non-revertive ring would keep using the protection path until someone issues a manual switch command.
