What is the minimum protection switching time of Link-layer Type B Switching?
Type B Protectionin GPON networks refers to link-layer redundancy, where two independent fiber paths are used to connect an ONU to the OLT. In the event of a fiber failure, the system automatically switches to the backup path.
Theminimum protection switching timefor Type B protection is50 ms, ensuring minimal disruption to services. This rapid switching time is critical for maintaining high availability and reliability in mission-critical applications.
