<p>An Ethernet-based transmission system using a dying gasp according to the present invention includes an SMPS for supplying power to an Ethernet-based lower level system, detecting a state of a power fault, and outputting a dying gasp alarm signal. A CPU receives the dying gasp alarm signal, and generates and transmits an alarm packet. A PHY chip receives the alarm packet, and uplinks the alarm packet so that the alarm packet is transferred to a higher level stage. An L3 switch receives the alarm packet and determines whether a power fault has occurred in the lower level system. Accordingly, the present invention applies a dying gasp to an Ethernet-based or EPON-based transmission system and is then capable of generating and transmitting an alarm packet so that when a power fault occurs, a device in a higher level network can rapidly determine the occurrence of the power fault.</p> |
