The 0 is the "ring list number".   From Cisco's website, is says "The dlsw
remote-peer command defines the IP address of the remote router. The number
0 that follows the remote-peer keyword is the ring-list number. Generally,
if you want a fully meshed network, use the number 0. The ring-list number
is used to control the flooding of explorer frames by allowing the network
to be segmented (see example two for a ring-list demonstration). "

>From another page, they describe the ring number as "Maps the MAC address to
a ring number or ring group number. The valid range is 1 to 4095."
