“…Although the national standard and the ITU-T stipulates the maximum switching time is 50ms, but in business operations [6], the longer the service interruption time, the greater the loss will be, such as 50ms switching time for 400G communication system, will lose about 2.5GB of data, and this is not counting the loss of other problems caused by service interruption. With the deployment of 800G communication system [7], the 50ms switching time will further expand the loss of data, therefore, how to reduce the protection switching time becomes an important research issue. To address this problem, this paper uses magnetooptical switches as the core devices and FPGAs/CPLDs to implement the control logic and realize automatic protection switching in hardware, reducing the switching time to about 1.5ms, which greatly reduces the loss of the whole system in case of failure.…”
