Abstract :
The delay performance was studied for a fiber to the home (FTTH) system, where an optical fiber is dedicated to each customer. There may be applications requiring the sharing of the electronics among multiple customers using a fiber to the curb (FTTC) system. In such an application, delay performance is more complex than the FTTH case because of allowing multiple customers to share the fiber upstream bandwidth. The paper covers this case and shows the maximum delay that can result for FTTC systems carrying ATM
