Abstract
In this article, a new dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm for the upstream channel of Ethernet Passive Optical Networks, called DySLa, is proposed not only to provide service differentiation but also to offer subscriber differentiation. In contrast to previous methods in which the performance of each class of service is not insured, DySLa is continuously evaluating the mean packet delay and guarantees that the highest priority services fulfil the packet delay requirements in the access network for every type of client. Simulation results show that DySLa can maintain both the mean packet delay and packet loss ratio below the maximum upper bounds permitted for the most sensitive services of every class of customer. Moreover, DySLa outperforms other dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithms which provide service and client differentiation and it makes a fairer bandwidth distribution than those methods.
