RT Conference Proceedings T1 Multicast service for ultraflow access networks A1 Larrabeiti López, David A1 Kazovsky, Leonid A1 Urueña Pascual, Manuel A1 Dhaini, Ahmad A1 Yin, Shuang A1 Hernández Gutiérrez, José Alberto A1 Reviriego Vasallo, Pedro A1 Shunrong, Thomas AB Optical Flow Switching (OFS) is envisaged as an efficient solution for ultra-broadband end-to-end Internet data transfers. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of providing multicast services over a recently proposed UltraFlow access network that offers two types of access service to its end-users at the same time: IP over GPON and OFS. Our focus is set on the viability of multicast in this dual-mode access concept. This paper studies several application scenarios for multicast UltraFlow access and makes a preliminary assessment of practical feasibility of this service.
