We look at the latest projects adding new features and capabilities to the family of wired Ethernet standards, enabling the exponential growth of the Ethernet ecosystem, driven by technical maturity, cost effectiveness, and broad market support. Expand

This paper presents the initial results obtained from the PON optimization tools, which are currently under development by the authors. Expand

Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) efficiency issues in both upstream and downstream directions are discussed in detail. Expand

We look at the motivation behind the SIEPON-defined data link protection schemes from a network operator perspective, as well as ways of delivering increased data service availability while minimizing the impact on the network cost and complexity. Expand

The interest in the evolution of current PON systems toward high-data-rate systems capable of providing a future-proof platform for delivery of truly subscriber-oriented and personalized triple-play services resulted in the recent kickoff of the 10 Gb/s Ethernet PON system standardization effort. Expand

In this article, we discuss in detail all the components of 10G-EPON transmission overhead. Expand

Ethernet passive optical network addresses the environmental impact of fiber access through advanced power-saving mechanisms, which reduce the power consumption of customer equipment while preserving customer experience. Expand

We present the existing discovery process for 1G-EPON systems and propose a series of extensions required to support the extended discovery process, which include detection of the upstream and downstream data rates, as well as an extension of the existing registration handshake. Expand
