Ethernet Passive Optical Networks

The Definitive Guide to EPON

Written by one of the authors of the IEEE 802.3ah standard, this is the first book to fully explain the EPON architecture, analyze its performance, and annotate the standard.

Clearly addressing efficiency, performance, and implementation issues, Ethernet Passive Optical Networks provides valuable, annotated insights into all engineering-critical EPON topics, including:

• PON enabling technologies
• Point-to-point emulation
• Multi-point control protocol
• Error correction
• Performance analysis
• Discovery optimizations
• Quality of service in EPON
• Fairness vs. efficiency

There is no more expert or complete guide to understanding the performance and architectural complexities of EPON than Ethernet Passive Optical Networks.
