Latency analysis in FANS model for IoT services

Abstract

This work proposes the creation of a real operating scenario of a fiber optic network based on the FANS (Fixed Access Network Sharing) standard of Broadband Forum, in which the handling of a model traffic corresponding to IoT devices is simulated. For this, it is proposed to make different models that represent the operating mode of a FANS architecture managing the corresponding traffic conditions, so that conclusions can be drawn about latency, which is the most important parameter considered by the industry in contexts for use on 5G networks that are interconnected through fiber optic networks. The objective of the study is to determine if any of the models of the standard could offer advantages in scenarios of networks composed of IoT devices that are sensitive to latency.
