With internet traffic being bursty in nature, Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation(DBA) Algorithms have always been very important for any broadband access network to utilize the available bandwidth effciently. It is no different for Passive Optical Networks(PON), which are networks based on fiber optics in the physical layer of TCP/IP stack or OSI model, which in turn increases the bandwidth in the upper layers. The work in this thesis covers general description of basic DBA Schemes and mathematical derivations that have been established in research. We introduce a Novel Survey Topology that classifes DBA schemes based on their functionality. The novel perspective of classification will be useful in determining which scheme will best suit consumer's needs. We classify DBA as Direct, Intelligent and Predictive back on its computation method and we are able to qualitatively describe their delay and throughput bounds. Also we describe a recently developed DBA Scheme, Multi-thread polling(MTP) used in LRPON and describes the different viewpoints and issues and consequently introduce a novel technique Parallel Polling that overcomes most of issues faced in MTP and that promises better delay performance for LRPON.
