Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a preliminary estimation process, which may be used by an optical network device. The optical network device may preliminarily estimate a length of fiber in the network and, from that, may estimate a preliminary equalization delay. The optical network device may then transmit a message over the optical network according to the preliminary equalization delay.
