THE DEFINITIVE 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

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

Inside Ethernet Passive Optical Networks:
