ABSTRACT:
A method for data-flow protection of an optical interface in data communication equipment includes: receiving an optical-signal from a source-neighboring device, then duplicating the received optical signal into two duplicated optical signals. One of the optical signals is sent to a protected device for processing. According to the protected device working status, either the optical signal having been processed by the protected device or the second duplicated optical signal is selected and sent to a destination-neighboring device. The device includes a first optical-signal duplicating unit and an optical-signal selecting unit. The first optical-signal duplicating unit is used for duplicating an optical signal, and the optical-signal selecting unit is used as a selector. The method and device proposed by the disclosure are independent to network topology and can protect data-flow reliably.
