Abstract:
A fast protection switching method for a Passive Optical Network (PON). When performing protection switching from an operation link (an operation network) to a protection link (a protection network) in a PON, the fast protection switching method enables rapidly updating Equalization Delay (EqD) values, even if the EqD values are different for Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) of varying distances.
