Challenges of future packet Networks

Providing value to current Broadband approaches by:

Supporting service sophistication, the access networks
must evolve to support all possible services from High Speed Internet to 3D immersive telepresence or HDTV.

Become the playground for video communications,

Video traffic is the main driver behind the Internet traffic growth with an aprox 60% of the total IP consumer traffic by 2012, and to

Have a clear business orientation, so that Telecom

Operators could have a short ROI from the CAPEX: A scenario with High Bandwidth demanding services as well as SLA guarantee will have to be accompanied by the necessary upgrading of access networks for supporting them.

Pragmatism and simplicity The Networks community demands a pragmatic and simple way to provide services that meet users expectations and are able to maintain their level of satisfaction always, as well as reducing CAPEX and OPEX for Operators.
Pragmatism scalable enough to address the residential market while being flexible enough to address the corporate one Simplicity simple and cost-efficient way to provide sufficient guaranteed Broadband resources for the mass market and corporate needs, but without the need to meet the requirements of all conceivable services.

Next generation access networks will be based on Fiber deployments as it is the only communications media that satisfies the future services bandwidth demand in a pragmatic and simple way. 2009 TECNALIA - TELNET-RI

GPON as best candidate for FTTH

Although the different alternatives have their pros and cons, the best candidate for a pragmatic and simple FTTH deployment is GPON.
Pragmatic GPON can address up to 128 users with only one fiber (up to the fiber flexibility point) with less floor space at the central office, longer reach than other PON alternatives and lower costs in upgradability.

Simplicity Management, operation and management in GPON networks provide the lower OPEX of all FTTH alternatives while efficiently addressing all services QoS requirements

What is needed to know in a GPON Network?

PERFORMANCE BEHAVIOR CHANGES. In a GPON Network the bandwidth is dynamically assigned and the services are provided using different traffic classes. Changes in the performance can lead to significant service degradations. These situations have to be identified and solved before the users start calling the Helpdesk BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION. GPON Access networks are also provided as neutral networks and exploited by different resellers simultaneously, one of the main worries is that the bandwidth provided to each of their customer is the same as the one contracted INTEROPERABILITY ISSUES. In GPON Networks there are ONUs and OLT from different system vendors, and although all claim to comply with the standards there are always small implementation issues that introduce malfunctions within the network.

What GPON Doctor can do for you?

GPON TRAFFIC ANALISYS. GPON Doctor is able to capture and analyze all the traffic flow between the OLT and the ONUs/ONTs in a vendor independent way. It will clearly identify interoperability issues as well as show the configuration status of all active elements in the network, including the entity-relation diagram of OMCI entities. BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION MONITORING. GPON Doctor is able to identify the bandwidth allocated to each ONU/ONT in real time. BROADBAND FORUM TR-156/TR-167 ANALYSIS. Infers, within the ODN, the tagging behavior and VLAN filtering done at the ONTs according to OLT OMCI configuration. Generation of the association map from the PON transport architecture. REAL TIME UPPER-LAYER TRAFFIC EXTRACTION. GPON Doctor allows the decryption of bidirectional and Multicast GEM port in real-time and its extraction for analysis by external Upper-layer traffic analyzer or a protocol analyzer like Wireshark installed as application within GPON Doctor. - TELNET-RI 2009 TECNALIA
