Ethernet Passive Optical Networks is the IEEE’s (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) approved architecture of choice for the next generation of broadband access. Written by an author of the IEEE 802.3ah standard, this is the first book to explain the EPON architecture, analyze its performance, and annotate the standard. For any engineer or graduate student building equipment for broadband access or service provider offering such service, this will serve as the “authorized” guide to EPON.

Written by one of the authors of the IEEE802.3ah 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
