Abstract
A system, for identifying faults in a GPON that includes an OLT and a plurality of ONUs, including: a global error-counter, coupled to the OLT, for counting FEC-correctable errors, for each ONU, from a data stream from the GPON; and a CPU for extracting an ONU status, indicative of a faulty ONU, contingent on the errors from the global error-counter. A system, for identifying faults in a GPON that includes an OLT and a plurality of ONUs, including: a grant-start error-counter, coupled to the OLT, for counting grant-start errors, for each ONU, from a data stream from the GPON; a grant-end error-counter, coupled to the OLT, for counting grant-end errors for each ONU; and a CPU for extracting an ONU status, indicative of a faulty ONU, contingent on a parameter selected from the group consisting of the grant-start errors, the grant-end errors, and a combination thereof.
