Abstract
Optical transmission is getting more popular in the
access network due to the increasing demand for
bandwidth. The most advertised transport solutions for
the optical access are Ethernet based PON (EPON) and
Gigabit-capable PON (GPON), and the problem is which one
to choose when establishing a new access network. This
paper studies the network cost of EPON and GPON and bases
the comparison on the link utilization.
