Passive Optical Networks (PON) support subscribers with bandwidth requirements more than 10 Mbps. Fiber and node failures in a PON network can lead to large amounts of data loss, while isolating the central office from the subscribers. Hence, high network availability is desired when a PON is used for business enterprises and for providing mobile backhaul services. To maximize network availability, several protection architectures have been proposed in literature. In this chapter, we critically
