Performance of 10G-EPON in streaming IPTV

Abstract

Performance of 10G-EPON in streaming IPTV is studied using a synthetic trace generator. Parameters of interest are number of concurrent channels, degree of video compression, average and maximum packet delays, packet delay variance, and buffer sizes in ONUs. It is shown that 10G-EPON can support a large number of concurrent IPTV channels with minimal buffer size at moderate rates of video compression.
