Abstract :
The emergence of bandwidth intensive services such as video-on-demand, standard and high-definition video (STV and HDTV), along with the rapid growth of Internet traffic will put a strain on existing resources in the Ethernet passive optical network (EPON). In this paper we develop a model for Internet traffic growth to determine how to evolve EPONs to wavelength division multiplexing PONs (WDM-PONs). We believe our findings can help operators estimate when, and how much bandwidth to provision.
