Quality of Service Performance Analysis for XGS-PON Deployment in Indonesia

This study evaluates the implementation of a scheduling mechanism in traffic handling to support Quality of Service (QoS) in the network. The QoS aims to provide better network service by allocating service application traffic resources to an excellent user experience. The purpose makes QoS capability very important in regulating the technical specifications for 10-Gigabit-capable Symmetric Passive Optical Network (XGS-PON) equipment in Indonesia. Its main scope is the ability of XGS-PON to control how much bandwidth is in the network, how it is treated, and how classes can use based on Weight Round Robin (WRR) and Strict Priority (SP) priorities. In addition, XGS-PON shall map Differentiated Service to 802.1p priority along with the service class attributes. Performance evaluation is conducted by introducing a test method for the traffic handling mechanism on the scheduling mechanism. The test results show that XGS-PON can control traffic with the highest and lowest priority to pass bandwidth with 10% and 40% of the total traffic that has been set. In addition, XGS-PON can manage to pass 100% bandwidth only at the highest or lowest priority. Furthermore, the Different Service mapping to priority capability test result shows that XGS-PON can map eight types of service classes (BE, AF11, CS2-7) into eight 802.1p priorities. Thus, XGS-PON support QoS traffic handling mechanism WRR, SP, and Differentiated Service mapping towards priority following the Technical Report Broadband Forum recommendations and can be implemented in regulations and standardization in Indonesia.
