Abstract :
As WDM-PON has been emerging to be the next generation optical access network, the issue of network survivability has recently aroused much attention. In this talk, several considerations in designing survivable WDM-PONs will be discussed. Besides, several feasible protection schemes and architectures for automatic traffic restoration upon any fiber cut in WDM-PONs will be reviewed.
