| Abstract | |
This paper introduces a mechanism for the support of multi-ONU service level agreements (SLAs) in dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithms for Ethernet passive optical networks (EPON). The employment of SLAs for multiple optical network units (ONUs) instead of individual ONUs allows better utilization of the bandwidth reserved for these ONUs. The proposed DBA mechanism allows customers owning multiple ONUs to redistribute the aggregated bandwidth of the group of ONUs to better balance the bandwidth utilization. The proposed DBA can be employed in different use cases such as mobile backhauling/fronthauling, PON virtualization, and multi-site enterprise networking. Simulation results show that the proposed DBA improves the network performance. (AU) | |
