Practical model for management, monitoring and research of passive optical network

Abstract

Passive optical networks are widely used in modern communication networks for broadband access. A major problem in terms of development and operation of these networks is to provide opportunities for management, monitoring and research. The main objective of this work is to implement a practical model of a passive optical network for the delivery of interactive services to perform three main tasks: to allow convenient and easy training of staff; to permit a wide variety of practical research (traffic processing, introducing of new services and optical service modules, etc.); to be a platform for conducting general research in the field of passive optical networks.
