A method is provided for increasing downstream bandwidth in an optical network that includes providing a downstream terminal comprising a digital output path and an analog output path. The method also includes receiving a signal comprising at least one wavelength at the downstream terminal. The method further includes selectively processing the signal at the downstream terminal. The signal is selectively processed at the downstream terminal by processing the signal on the analog output path if the signal comprises analog video data and processing the signal on the digital output path if the signal comprises data to be converted to a digital bit stream.

The objective of the present invention is to realize a chromatic dispersion compensation method which does not depend on a wavelength path in a photonic network to which a HUB node is applied and its monitoring control. In order to achieve this purpose, the present invention controls a plurality of variable chromatic dispersion compensators arbitrarily disposed in the photonic network based on the measured results of a plurality of chromatic dispersion monitors arbitrarily disposed in the photonic network and wavelength path information kept by the network management system which manages the entire photonic network. Here, the variable chromatic dispersion compensator within the network that should be controlled and the chromatic dispersion compensated quantity thereof are determined based on the measured results of the chromatic dispersion monitor and the wavelength path information kept by NMS.
