Abstract:

Loopback is a critical failure in PON, especially in mass deployment of PON network. This article describes thetypical phenomenon in real network and provides the typical loopback failure model. Then the principle of loopback detectionand the disadvantages of current solution are analyzed. Finally, based on the hands-on experience in network management, wepropose a new loopback detection mechanism and the related procedure which are widely used in metro optical network ofShanghai Telecom.

Key words: metro optical network, PON, loopback detection mechanism, OLT, ONU
