It describes the fundamental requirements, maintenance section, testing and maintenance items, and methods for
3、 developing a suitable guide to maintaining point-to-multipoint and ring optical networks, respectively. Source ITU-T Recommendation L.53 was approved by ITU-T Study Group 6 (2001-2004) under the ITU-T Recommendation A.8 procedure on 14 May 2003. ii ITU-T Rec. L.53 (05/2003) FOREWORD The Internation
4、al Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations
5、on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of
6、 ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is
7、 used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with
8、the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual
10、Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However

15、2003) Introduction Recently, networks with several types of topology including the passive optical network (PON) and the ring network using add-drop multiplexers (ADM) have been installed in the field because of the diversification of optical communication services. The point-to-multipoint and ring
16、network architectures are very important in terms of constructing optical fibre networks both effectively and inexpensively. However, the testing and maintenance method used for conventional single star networks (see ITU-T Recs L.25 and L.40) cannot be adapted to these network architectures. Optical
17、 fibre networks have expanded rapidly because of the increase in IP services. In order to test and maintain optical fibre networks effectively, it is necessary to establish identical maintenance criteria for both point-to-multipoint and ring networks. ITU-T Rec. L.53 (05/2003) 1 ITU-T Recommendation
