A Digital Subscriber Line, DSL/G.fast/G.hn, transceiver comprising a plurality of first interfaces configured to transmit data packet streams in a downlink direction to different subscribers and to receive data packet streams from the different subscribers, a second interface configured to transmit data packet streams in an uplink direction to a passive optical network element, and at least one processing unit configured to detect a physical layer indicator of a loss of signal of one of the first interfaces received at a physical layer at said one first interface, wherein when the at least one processing unit detects the physical layer indicator for said one first interface, the second interface transmits the physical layer indicator in the uplink direction to the passive optical network element.
