EPON is a "short haul" network using Ethernet packets, fiber optic cables, and single protocol layer. [1] EPON also uses standard 802.3 Ethernet frames with symmetric 1 gigabit per second upstream and downstream rates. EPON is applicable for data-centric networks, as well as full-service voice, data and video networks.

The Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) is a PON encapsulate data with Ethernet and can offer 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps capacity. EPON follows the original architecture of a PON. Here, the DTE connected to the trunk of the tree and called as Optical Line Terminal (OLT) as shown in the following illustration.

Jan 29, 2021 · 10G-PON (also known as XG-PON) is a 2010 computer networking standard for data links. There is one configuration for 10G-PON with asymmetrical bandwidth of uplink and downlink (uplink 2.5Gbps, downlink 10Gbps).

The next-generation Ethernet passive optical network (NG-EPON) is basically classified into two architectures on the basis of the wavelength sharing by the optical network units (ONUs).

EPON is a point to multipoint (P2MP) network topology implemented with passive optical splitters, along with optical fiber physical media dependent (PMD) sublayers that support this topology.

EPON tutorial EPONP – Overview (2) lDownstream – Ethernet traffic is broadcasted from OLT to all of its ONUs – OLT periodically sends a Start message containing grants for 1..N full cycles to its subtending ONUs – Each grant contains: lWindow_Size and Window_Offset per ONU lCycle_Size lNumber_of_Cycles lUpstream

EPON is one type of fiber-based Ethernet access, using a passive optical 1:N infrastructure. An EPON network is a shared network, analogous to hybrid-fiber-coax networks, but with much greater bandwidth (1 Gbps).

Frames transmitted by the OLT are received by all ONUs. The ONUs filter the frames based on LLID and MAC address. In the upstream direction, only a single ONU may transmit during a given time period. The OLT grants time periods to each ONU …

This paper introduces the basic principle of EPON and discusses the feasibility of EPON applied in distribution automation system from the aspects of transmission ability, reliability,...
