Abstract :
In a fiber to the home (FTTH) system an optical fiber is dedicated to each customer. However, there may be applications requiring the sharing of the electronics among multiple customers using a fiber to the curb (FTTC) system. In such an application, the delay performance is more complex than the FTTH case because of allowing multiple customers to share the fiber upstream bandwidth. This paper covers this case and shows the maximum delay that can result for FTTC systems carrying ATM
