First λ-tunable dynamic load-balancing operation enhanced by 3-msec bidirectional hitless tuning on symmetric 40-Gbit/s WDM/TDM-PON

We demonstrate the first dynamic load-balancing operation on a symmetric 40-Gbit/s λ-tunable WDM/TDM-PON. Smooth traffic migration without data-frame loss is performed by implementing a DWBA algorithm and a bidirectional hitless λ-tuning sequence within 3 msec.
