GPON Transmission Basics

GPON is the FTTH technology most widely deployed today by service providers worldwide.
This video describes the basics of GPON Transmission. If you are new to this technology we recommend that you watch the GPON Introduction video first.

Great

Hi.. I'm having a weird issue where my ONT refuses to push upload throughput unless I run a speed test from the unit itself.. Is this a configuration/QoS issue?

[@HAlanz]

How many cards does it have OLT , each port how many subscribers can each port accommodates !

Tom Paris and Harry Kim?

protocolli grazie, automazione, network as a code

[@germanaruberto5840]

quindi se è un collegamento stella dove sta la collisione mi scusi?

You mention at 0:23 that Harry can't 'talk' to Tom due to physics, what are these physics and could Harry talk to Tom on a different wavelengths ?. What I thought was you could have your 'own' local network with a neighbour over the branch PON network. Alternatively, if only one person has a registered internet access and share it over the PON on another wavelengths :). Another 'problem' could be a nefarious person could 'shine' light on 1490 and 1310 wavelengths and disrupt that PON segment ! would this be an issue ?

[@tracespancommunications6556]

These physics refer to the characteristics of the PON splitter, specifically a parameter called directivity. When light is injected into one of the output ports of the splitter, some of the light propagates back through the other output ports. Directivity is defined as the fraction of power transferred from one output port to another output port, and in PON splitters it is typically higher than 50 dB. The difference between the maximum transmit power of the optical transmitter and the minimum sensitivity level of the optical receiver is less than 40 dB, so directivity of 50 dB means there is no way for one customer to receive the transmissions of another customer. This applies to any wavelength. Regarding the question of a person who could 'shine' light and disrupt that PON segment, if the light is at the 1310 nm wavelength it would definitely disrupt the PON, so yes - it’s a potential issue. It is similar to a rogue ONU, and you can learn more about it in our video “Detecting and Identifying a Rogue ONU/ONT on GPON”, kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6uzlJWrosh-sKM.

@@tracespancommunications6556 Thank you for your prompt and concise reply ! I thought afterwards about prisms and light isolation. Another thing that intrigues me is bandwidth on a PON segment and splitter ratios. If the PON speed is at say 1G each split would halve the throughput but not the speed of each packet ?. So each customer would get 1G but in 'small' bursts to the split ratio ? - I think of cars on a single track road being 'split' off each car to side roads, say each 32nd car in a 1:32 splitter ratio down a specific road - I hope that makes sense !

@@SolarPV. In general, the total available bandwidth of the PON is divided among the different customers, but there are some other points to consider: 1. A customer doesn’t use all his available bandwidth all the time, and as a matter of fact, most of the time he/she will use only a portion of it. Based on this, service providers can offer service packages based on oversubscription. As an example, they offer a “1 Gig” service, even though if 3 customers make an attempt to consume 1 Gb/s simultaneously, they will exceed the total available throughput of GPON. 2. For some types services the same downstream traffic is broadcast simultaneously to multiple customers. The classical example is IPTV, in which each TV channel is transmitted only once on a multicast port, and multiple customers connected to different ONUs on the PON can watch it simultaneously.

@@tracespancommunications6556 Thanks again !, Most users as you say only use bursts of data. But overall I feel it has the possibility of being a big bottleneck - I'm a frequent bittorrent user for example ... :-)

no non è ok, se parla con me.mi dia il tempo di riascoltare il video da capo prima di passare al successivo.grazie
