Fiber-to-the-Home: 1977–2007
TLDR
Fiber has been envisioned for delivering broadband services to the residential customer for over 30 years, yet it has only recently entered the mainstream as discussed by the authors, and major architectural changes that have reduced costs while increasing capabilities to meet today's needs.Abstract:
Fiber has been envisioned for delivering broadband services to the residential customer for over 30 years, yet it has only recently entered the mainstream. Currently, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) is being installed in many countries at remarkable rates (even though it still constitutes only a fraction of all broadband lines in most countries). Other lightwave transmission technologies have progressed far faster. What has held FTTH up for so long? What improvements along the way have occurred? What recent changes have made it successful? This article follows the progress in moving fiber toward the home and major architectural changes that have reduced costs while increasing capabilities to meet today's needs.read more

Wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) technologies for broadband access: a review (Invited)
Amitabha Banerjee,Youngil Park,Frederick Clarke,Huan Song,Sunhee Yang,Glen Kramer,Kwangjoon Kim,Biswanath Mukherjee +7 more
TL;DR: Incorporating wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) in a PON allows one to support much higher bandwidth compared to the standard PON, which operates in the traditional copper-based networks.
The nature of the beast: Recent traffic measurements from an Internet backbone
TL;DR: New data analyses as well as comparisons with last year's data that may suggest trends in changing workload profiles are provided, based on recent wide-area MCI Internet backbone traffic as recorded by the Coral monitors.
