Written by an author of the IEEE 802.3ah standard, Ethernet Passive Optical Networks is the first book to explain the EPON architecture, analyze its performance, and annotate the standard. For any engineer or graduate student building equipment for broadband access or service provider offering such service, this will serve as the "authorized" guide to EPON.
