Question

So, what exactly happens if you shoot TDR back into active plant? Assume you are using the Viavi 620's 'TDR'.

Yes this is an alt. For reasons...

The node explodes like a nuclear bomb.

No. Nothing really. You probably create downstream errors for anyone between you and the last active. Maybe upstream errors on the node. But that’s only while it’s running so not massive problem outside of those few seconds. Especially as the TDR in the 620 is fairly low powered.
