Mohammad Abdulmoniem Ali Ismael, Abd El-haleem Zekry . Design, Simulation and Implementation of the Ethernet Simplified MAC Together With the P2MP Emulation Layer for EPON ONU Devices. International Journal of Computer Applications. 55, 10 ( October 2012), 57-64. DOI=10.5120/8795-2792
The market demand for providing higher bit rate within the access network has raised the requirement of deploying the Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) to replace the old technology based on Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and Cable Modem (CM). This paper presents the design, simulation and implementation of the Simplified Ethernet Medium access Controller (MAC) together with the Point-To-Multi-Point (P2MP) emulation mechanism that can be used for Optical Network Unit (ONU) devices.
