What is the network topology in PON technology?

Passive Optical Networks (PON) use a Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) topology where a single Optical

Line Terminal (OLT) connects to multiple Optical Network Units (ONUs) or Optical Network Terminals

(ONTs) using passive splitters.

✅ Efficient Bandwidth Sharing – A single fiber from the OLT is split among multiple users, reducing

fiber deployment costs.

✅ Scalable and Cost-Effective – Supports higher user density with minimal fiber usage.

Since PON does not follow a Point-to-Point (P2P) model, the correct answer is P2MP.
