In order to meet the diversifying demands, we propose the architecture of the software-based virtual EPON-OLT, where all of OLT functions except PHY-Layer are implemented as software running on an x86 server. The EPON-OLT requires not only high throughput, low latency but also accurate controls for the upstream transmission timing of ONUs. In order to satisfy these conditions, we introduced two methods for the virtual OLT: (1) Separation of D-Plane/C-Plane and (2)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
