Performance evaluation of multi-ONU customers in ethernet passive optical networks

Resources of Passive Optical Networks (PONs) can be shared by a diverse spectrum customers such as residential users, business subscribers, mobile network operators, and service providers. A PON customer rent one or several Network Units (ONUs) from an Infrastructure Service Provider. The ONUs (multi-ONU customer) subject to large spatiotemporal traffic variability, resulting in underutilization particular overutilization others. Interleaved Polling with Adaptive Cycle Time Multi-ONU SLAs support (MOS-IPACT) algorithm has been recently proposed promote the redistribution unused bandwidth underloaded multi-ONU customer. This paper introduces analytical model evaluate duration idle periods usage, well performance evaluation MOS-IPACT networks traditional customers. Numerical results show that efficiently distributes excess among without compromising availability.
