Abstract :
In this paper we evaluate PON protection switching times using our FPGA-based hardware implementation of a Long-Reach PON protocol based on the XGPON standard. We first compare reactivation times of different 1+1 protection scenarios, and then we propose hardware modifications to reduce PON protection times.
