Investigation of Bidirectional Passive Optical Network with 128 Optical Network Units

Ethernet Passive Optical Network (epon)

Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) is a point to multipoint network architecture and suitable for carrying Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service because it provisions higher bandwidth for downstream, but it also cannot satisfy the bandwidth requirement of tens of thousands of IPTV channels and carry these channels simultaneously. Previous papers had proposed some multicast mechanisms...

All-optical virtual private network in passive optical networks

We review recent progress on all-optical virtualprivate-network (VPN) schemes in passive optical networks (PONs). PON is a promising candidate in future access areas to provide broadband services with low cost. With all-optical virtual private network (VPN) function, PON can support efficient internetworking among end users with dedicated optical channels, thus enabling guaranteed bandwidth and...

A Review on Passive Optical Network

In this paper, passive optical network and its techniques have been reviewed. Due to the property of high bandwidth and energy saving, Passive optical network can be a better solution for the networks accessed in future. Traffic pattern has evolved to video and image based services from voice and text oriented services in the access networks. For the support of symmetric, high-speed and perfect...

Passive optical network (PON) supported networking

In this editorial, we first set the context for the subject matter of this special issue on passive optical network (PON) supported networking. This context includes a discussion of optical networking in all segments of a global communication network and the emphasis of the importance of PONs in the access network as well as their role supporting other communication network technologies. We fol...
