NA_OUT_NET und HS_OUT_NET wird im Notbetrieb (NL_PPC & NL_MSP) auf den entsprechenden Input aufgeschaltet (siehe [4] Details MSP).
I am afraid there are no other references that I could provide as the term "Schwanzbeisser-Problem" only apears once.
Thanks for your help upfront

vicious circle type of problem

of course, that needs to me more technical. on the other hand, as I see it, the source text is a bit figurative, too, isn't it? :) Functionally, of course, we should use a less figurative term.

circularity problem
...assuming that they refer to a problem of circular references. Asking someone familiar with that particular system wouldn't hurt.
