Elastic Lambda Aggregation Network (EλAN), the next-generation access and aggregation integrated network, has been proposed. In EλAN, Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) are programmable, and Logical-OLTs (L-OLTs) can be migrated between different P-OLTs. L-OLT migration leads to enhance failure resistance and improve power saving. We have experimented L-OLT migration between P-OLTs in our laboratory. However it is necessary to evaluate how L-OLT migration time changes according to physical distance. Therefore we made an experiment of L-OLT migration in wide area network on JGN-X. This paper proposes estimation equation of L-OLT migration time. The equation leads to determine L-OLT arrangements considering time of L-OLT migration for physical distance.
