Abstract :
WDM passive optical network is a promising approach to realize high-capacity and flexible data delivery for access network subscribers. Due to the data-centric nature of the access network traffic, high network availability and flexible data delivery are highly desirable. In this paper, various survivable architectures and optical multicast overlay schemes for WDM PONs will be reviewed. The schemes provide feasible and practical options to enhance the network functionalities of WDM-PONs.
