'''Project Title'''

Optical Access Networks [[BR]]
a.k.a. UB_OANets

'''Technical Contacts'''

Principal Investigator: Chunming Qiao qiao@computer.org [[BR]]
Student Developer: Lokesh Mandvekar lsm5@cse.buffalo.edu


'''Participating Organizations'''

University at Buffalo (SUNY at Buffalo) 

'''Scope'''

The project will study how to make an optical edge network, such as a campus-scale
optical access network based on passive optical network (PON) technologies, a part of
the GENI infrastructure. In particular, it will study issues such as how to establish a
campus-wide PON facility, based on any available infrastructure, implement desired
GENI functionalities (programmability) in such a facility, the time and cost involved
and expected GENI users and applications. The output of these efforts will be a white
paper describing the plans to realize this infrastructure, and the expected cost, and GENI
functionality and usage.
