Abstract:Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) is believed to be the promising candidate for the next-generation access network, due to its large bandwidth and cost-effective virtue. With the purpose of optimizing EPON system to reduce prophase investment and providing an EPON simulation platform on which new algorithms, concepts and mechanisms can be verified, we proposed and built an NS-based EPON simulation platform which is reconciled to IEEE802.3ah. In this paper, the architecture and module design of the platform are presented, implementation of the platform is depicted. In the fifth part, experiments are carried out based on the platform we built and the performance of mainstream Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithms and queue management schemes used in EPON are analyzed and compared. For the DBA, the average packet delay, jitter and system throughput under different DBA schemes are tested with the offered Optical Network Unit (ONU) load increases form 0.1 to 0.9. For the queue management block, the average packet delay, jitter, average queue size and system throughput for voice, video and data service under different queue management schemes are tested respectively with the offered ONU load increases form 0.1 to 0.9. According to the simulation results, it can be concluded that, in terms of DBA algorithms, Salira and G983.4 DBA has better performance than Fixed and Limited DBA of IPACT. In terms of queue management schemes, the three mechanisms all have their own merit and disadvantage, and the greater weight value one CoS gets, better performance it can attain. Based on that, we’ve proposed future extending and upgrading plans on this simulation platform.
