It mentions three types, viz. 1) External Supported 2) External Unsupported 3) Internal Supported I understand that Internal/External means it is on internal/external layer. But what is the difference between supported and unsupported annular rings?

IPC-2221A clarifies explicitely that "unsupported holes" means non-plated holes.
