Abstract The use of automated network planning systems is crucial for reducing the deployment cost and planning time of passive optical telecommunication networks. Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) is well suited for the purpose of modeling passive optical networks; however, excessive computing times for solving large-scale problem instances render these approaches impractical. This research presented a formulation that was based on MILP. It is for the issue of optimum dimensions of fiber equipment of the FTTH opticalaccess network (FTTH-OANs). The key objective is to minimize the capital expenditure associated with the implementation of FTTH-OAN, i.e. the expense of passive and active tools (splices, fiber terminations, closures, cables, optical splitters, and OLT cards, etc.) site planning costs and the cost of labor needed. This formulation is installed and tested. The key results are derived from practical physical systems installed in homes. Keywords MILP · Network design · Access networks · PON · FTTH
1 Introduction Global consumer internet protocol traffic is expected to reach 233 EB per month by 2021 [1]. Increased demand for bandwidth requires Internet service providers to deploy access networks that can keep up with the increase in bandwidth usage. Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) technology is currently widely used in Pakistan and is on average slower than fiber-to-home (FTTH) [2]. Such an enhancement can be made by bringing fiber nearer to the client. Hence, A high trend in the replacement of outdated copper wires to fiber in their network access regions. The obvious solution would be to move away from ADSL and to passive optical networks (PONs), but this requires extensive network planning. From this perspective, gigabit passive optical networks (GPON) [3, 4]) are now being introduced, which is an appropriate solution, particularly in the long term.

known as XG-PON, has enough more bandwidth than copper wires, resulting in additional efficient handling of higher demand. The XG-PON covers both operating and capital expenditure rationally concerning competing technologies such as active Ethernet, optical P2P, and Ethernet PON [5, 6]. We considered the FTTH-OANs that were built on GPON. An FTTH-OAN [3, 4, 7, 8] considered between optical network units and optical line terminals. Each FTTH-OAN optical network unit is segregated into sets. Each optical network unit of a particular set is linked via an optical allocation network to the same router of the optical line terminal,
