  • Methods and apparatuses to support multiple fiber networking platforms
    Patent number: 8472485
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses to support multiple access platforms on a network device are described. One or more first signals are sensed. First synchronization data associated with the one or more first signals are determined. A first networking protocol can be determined based on the first synchronization data. The first networking protocol can be determined before transmission is enabled at the network device. A first mode associated with the first networking protocol can be enabled. The one or more first signals are sensed at a first rate. One or more second signals are sensed at a second rate. A second networking protocol can be determined based on the one or more second signals. A second mode associated with the second networking protocol can be enabled.
