Abstract
Passive optical networks play an important role in access networks and in current 5G networks. Passive optical network (PON) recommendations are published for two sectors by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), covering transmission speeds from 1 to 100 Gbit with wavelength division multiplex (WDM). The recommendations of the ITU define different encapsulation methods for the Ethernet frame, and meeting these recommendations necessitates new tools for control and data transmission. We present a downstream frame bandwidth field analysis for the simple topology of an XG-PON with 2 ONUs. The main purpose is to prove that the current access networks do not rely only on Ethernet frame transmission.
