IEEE 1904.1-2013 pdf download IEEE Standard for Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (SIEPON)
1.3Coverage
This specification for Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (SIEPON) provides aseries of requirements for the operation of Optical Network Unit (ONU) and Optical Line Terminal (OLT)devices. To foster interoperability across the PON among equipment from different EPON vendors, thisstandard specifies the flow of information exchanged between the ONU and OLT as well as theitassociated behaviors. The interaction between the OLT and network management system (NMS) as well asbetween the ONU and customer premise equipment (CPE) devices is outside the scope of this specificationand not covered in this document.
1.4 Overview of clauses
This subclause provides an overview of the scope of individual clauses included in this specification:
Clause I provides an overview of the IEEE 1904.1 specifications, including the scope and purposeof the specification and the scope of individual clauses.
Clause 2 lists normative references used within this specification.
Clause 3 presents definitions of specific terms as used in this standard. Terms may be introducedin this specification or may exist with multiple industry definitions. Additionally, a list ofacronyms used in this standard is included.
Clause 4 defines individual specification packages through references to profile-specificdefinitions included in the subsequent clauses.
Clause 5 details the scope of IEEE 1904.1 specifications, looking at the EPON system-levelarchitecture, individual network elements (ONU and OLT), and their internal structure. LineONU/OLT, Client ONU/OLT, Service ONU/OLT, and associated interfaces are specified in thisclause.
Clause 6 presents the Media Access Control (MAC) Client reference model and its functionablocks, comprising the Client ONU/OLT devices. The clause provides their overview, descriptionof operation, primary statistics, and additional information to be exchanged between individualfunctional blocks. This clause builds on the Clause 5 model of the EPON system.
Clause 7 describes various aspects of connectivity configurations for EPON, such as frameclassification, virtual local area network (VLAN) and tunneling configurations, and multicastoperation that determine forwarding behavior of OLTs and ONUs.
Clause 8 provides definitions of mechanisms, parameters, and functions directly related to QoSenforcement,performance metrics, definitions of queue service disciplines, and queue lengthreporting process
Clause 9 focuses on the service survivability aspects of the EPON system, including mechanismsfor link monitoring, definitions of alarms and warnings supported by individual profiles, andoptical link protection required to meet high availability requirements included in some of theservice-level agreements (SLAs)
Clause 10 addresses power-saving requirements and mechanisms for EPON, specifying thecontrol protocol as well as ONU and OLT functional requirements.
Clause ll is devoted to the definition of data security and authentication mechanisms. includingdata link encryption and authentication of ONU devices. Authentication of CPEs is outside thescope of this specification.
