heal.abstract	Standardization efforts under way for the specification of Passive optical networks (PONs) at Gbps speeds concentrate on the transportation of bursty IP traffic. The tendency to extend the successful Ethernet solutions into the local loop must be accompanied by enhancements towards support of different Quality of Service levels since demand for multimedia services is increasing quickly in the targeted residential areas. In this paper, the implications of the introduction of variable packet based framing in the access PON and bandwidth sharing schemes are presented first and then a QoS-aware MAC mechanism that dynamically adapts the bandwidth distribution to traffic demand is proposed. Computer simulation results allow the evaluation of the algorithm.	en
