Abstract
In this paper we propose a solution to implement Ethernet over PON using two unidirectional channels for access networks. The protocol called TUR is efficient and scalable and easy to implement using conventional mature technologies. We discuss strategies to deploy both upstream as well as downstream communication. Possible end-user designs are also discussed in connection to the protocol. A simulation study verifies the protocol and compares to contemporary solutions.
