Abstract :
The frame loss periods of the optical layer protection switching using PLZT optical switches, which can provide 10 ns order switching time, is evaluated. Experimental results show that 60 mus guard time after switching is required for 10 Gbps Ethernet which uses commercial available XFP modules.
