Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks
Appearance
IEEE P1904.1 : "Standard for Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (SIEPON).
EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Networks) is the leading technology for FTTx (Fiber to the x) access networks, with more than 30 million subscriber lines being served by 1G-EPON. It is expected that deployment volumes soon will reach more than 10 million new subscribers annually. In response to this rapid growth, the market is looking for open, international, system-level specifications that will foster multi-vendor interoperability. The SIEPON standard project will develop system-level specifications, targeting "plug-and-play" interoperability of the transport, service, and control planes in a multi-vendor environment.[1]
