5. History of GPON Technology
• BPON – Predecessor technology ITU – G.983 final ratified in 1998 (622/155Mb)
• GPON is an industry standard technology based on ITU-T G.984.x (2.488/1.244Gb)
– Ratified in January 2003
– First deployments in Sept 2006
• Developed initially for Carrier Service Providers to provide converged Voice, Video, Data
services to residential and business end users
– Data: High speed Ethernet delivery
– Voice: Analog POTS and VoIP
– Video: RF Video and IP Video
• Passive Optical Network (PON) architecture lends itself to significant capital savings in the
access distribution network
– This was validated in large scale PON deployments (e.g. Verizon FiOS service)
• PON technology is widely deployed globally (BPON and GPON)
– North America: >16 million end users *
– Globally: >100 million end users *
– 40-60% annual growth in China anticipated to bring number of households serviced to 160 million by
2016

15. Executive overview
• Optical LAN results in up to 80% less power consumption
– Less than 5 watts per port with PON and likely sub 2W per port
– Active Ethernet can range from 5W to 12W per port
– 24-port ONT draws 20W and similar 48-port Active Ethernet is 67W
– 2,000 user OLT is 7,680W, and loaded Active Ethernet is 25,650W
– Assume 10/100/1000 equipped ports, Power over Ethernet (PoE) impact is equal
and network connection is 10GbE

16. Advantages of GPON
• Look and feel of a LAN with advanced security and centralized management
– Distributed Ethernet bridging for efficient user-to-user communication
– Powerful VLAN architecture enables a converged end-user environment
– Advanced security at the edge (Port Access Control, Access Control Lists)
– Advanced authentication for critical data applications
– Broad portfolio of Desktop and Communication Closet ONT’s
– Simpler to design an deploy
– Only two active components – one at core and one at the jack
– Centralized management at the user level
– 20km reach for fiber eliminates need for IDF’s and wiring closets
– Can be spliced and allows use of connectors in fiber runs
– Lower operational cost
– Passive network from server room to jack
– 99.999% reliability
– Simpler to isolate issues
– Much lower O&M costs
17. Ethernet Network Problem Statement
• Ethernet services have been delivered the same way for
over 20 years (stacking Ethernet switches)
• Each new Ethernet switch generation is:
– More expensive – Fluctuating commodity costs
– More complex
– Requires more power
– Requires more space
– Requires copper infrastructure upgrades
• Cat3, Cat 4, Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, Cat7 …
• Replacing copper is extremely expensive
• Copper is inherently insecure (RF radiation)
• Power and Carbon Footprint Reduction Mandates
– US Gov – Exec Order 13423 30% energy reduction by 2015

30. QoS in the Access Network
Quality of Service (QoS) within the Enterprise GPON network is provided by –
Traffic classification
> All ingress traffic is classified by service (Data, VoIP, POTS, IP Video)
> Based on traffic type defined by VLAN during provisioning
> Fields used: Dest MAC, VLAN, 802.1p marking, DSCP marking
Rate Limiting / Policing
> Rate limiting defined in SLA (CIR, EIR) and/or ACL Filter
> Based on traffic classification
Queue Management
> Eight (8) class queues available within Enterprise GPON network
> Four (4) class queues available at each End User port
> Ensures strict datagram delivery based on QoS parameters
Scheduling / Shaping
> Advanced datagram scheduling and shaping on a queue or group of queues
> Delivers End User traffic based on SLA provisioning (CIR, EIR, MBS)
> Priority Queuing (RFC-1046); Weighted Fair Queuing (RFC-3662)
