Abstract :
We propose a new EPON MAC protocol guaranteeing fairness among users by allocating excess bandwidth proportional to their subscription rates. The novelty of the protocol is in the use of scalable per-subscription-rate-queuing with round-robin scheduling and packet reclassification at ONU.
