Article: Studies from Hitachi, Ltd. in the area of lightwave technology described.

"We propose and investigate dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm with an adaptive polling cycle (DBA-APC) to maximize the TCP throughput in an Ether passive optical network," investigators in Kokubunji, Japan report.

"DBA-APC is designed to overcome the limiting factors of current DBA algorithms, such as inefficient TCP throughput in the downstream and upstream directions. The algorithm is based on a polling cycle adjustment that considers bandwidth utilization and the round-trip time of the TCP," wrote H. Ikeda and colleagues, Hitachi, Ltd..

The researchers concluded: "We analyze the performance of DBA-APC in a 10-Gb/s EPON and find that it provides ...
