Engineering a Scalable and Bandwidth Elastic Next Generation PON

Stamatios V. Kartalopoulos, Andres Sierra
2007 OFC/NFOEC 2007 - 2007 Conference on Optical Fiber Communication and the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference  
The next generation WDM/TDM-PON is scalable and delivers elastically ultra-high data rates to thousands of end-users, and therefore network security becomes particularly important. We identify different levels of security and responsibilities in the communications network, we identify vulnerabilities in the optical access network and we describe the security features of the next generation PON network.
