Softwarized and Open OLT Architecture for Flexible Optical Access Network

Recently, many telecom carriers are promoting the re-architecture of access networks and COs by utilizing SDN/NFV and OSS. We present our research relevant to the software PON-OLT architecture that we proposed for further flexibility.
