A Comparison of Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation and Costs for EPON and GPON Technologies
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) in passive optical networks presents a key issue for providing efficient and fair utilization of the PON upstream bandwidth while supporting the QoS (Quality-of-Service) requirements of different traffic classes. In this paper, the authors compare the typical characteristics of DBA, such as bandwidth utilization, delay and jitter at different traffic loads, ...
