Summary:
The WDM-PON architecture enables OLT-ONU connections while ONU-ONU full-mesh VPNs offer new functionality in PON-based access networks. A novel wavelength router architecture that yields multiple full-mesh VPNs is proposed. Measured optical power losses and crosstalk confirm the feasibility of the proposed architecture.
