Abstract

We report an experimental investigation on the
measurement of the available bandwidth for users in Gigabit
Passive Optical Networks (GPON) and the limitations caused by
the Internet protocols. We point out that the huge capacity
offered by the GPON highlights the enormous differences that
can be showed among the available and actually exploitable
bandwidth in the case of TCP. In this ultrabroadband
environment we also investigated on use of the UDP and of the
multisession TCP. A correlation in terms of QoE is also reported.
