摘要: An optical network has an splitter connected to (1) a working subscriber unit (OSU) of circuit, (2) protection OSU and (3) one or more terminals (ONTs), where ONT (i) line termination (LT) the circuit via fiber (ii) LT fiber. The present invention enables fast switching from circuit. arrival times corresponding downstream cells are measured at both units ONT, information related is transmitted OSU. A propagation delay value generated based on for use by communications with if when implemented upon detection failure in
