The document discusses various fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network architectures including active Ethernet, passive optical network (PON), and wavelength division multiplexing PON (WDM PON). It describes the components and typical network architectures for these technologies. It also covers video delivery and fiber cable segments used in FTTH networks as well as worldwide FTTH deployments. The document appears to be a technical report submitted by Atul and Priyanka Sharma to Tarun Aggarwal comparing different FTTH network options.
