Abstract

In an optical communication abnormality-recovery system and method, when an abnormality occurs in transmission and reception of one wavelength of an optical line terminal of a PON system, an optical network unit that is performing communication at a certain wavelength switches the wavelength for performing the communication to another backup wavelength that is instructed in advance. The optical line terminal also performs switching so that the communication is performed using the same backup wavelength as in the optical network unit.
