Both bandwidth and wavelength assignment are performed on the basis of transmission containers (T-CONTs) and therefore by means of upstream service priority traffic flows. Our medium access control (MAC) protocol therefore ensures consistency in processing alike classes of service across all optical network units (ONUs) in agreement with their QoS figures. For evaluation of the MAC protocol performance, a simulator has been implemented in OPNET featuring a 40 km, 40 Gbps TWDM-PON with four stacked wavelengths at 10 Gbps each and 256 ONUs. Simulation results have confirmed the efficiency of allocating bandwidth to each wavelength and the significant increase of network traffic flow due to adaptive polling from 9.04 to 9.74 Gbps. The benefit of T-CONT-centric allocation has also been measured with respect to packet delay and queue occupancy, achieving low packet delay across all T-CONTs. Therefore, improved NG-PON2 performance and greater efficiency are obtained in this first demonstration of T-CONTs allocated to both wavelength and time PB Optica Publishing Group SN 1943-0620 YR 2019 FD 2019-07-01 LK https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/63859 UL https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/63859 LA eng NO Journal of Optical Communications and Networking, Julio 2019, vol. 11, n. 7, p. 383-396 NO Producción Científica DS UVaDOC RD 17-may-2024
