Quasi-Passive Reconfigurable (QPAR) node enabled software-defined and energy-efficient intra-PON optical Flow transmission

We experimentally demonstrate error-free Intra-PON Flow transmission via a QPAR node. Simulations show Intra-PON outperforms regular PON in waiting time, blocking probability, throughput and energy consumption. Adaptive Intra-PON features up to 20% network cost reduction.
