Applicability of the Access Node Control Mechanism to
Broadband Networks Based on Passive Optical Networks (PONs)
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to provide applicability of the
Access Node Control Mechanism to broadband access based on Passive
Optical Networks (PONs). The need for an Access Node Control
Mechanism between a Network Access Server (NAS) and an Access Node
Complex, composed of a combination of Optical Line Termination (OLT)
and Optical Network Termination (ONT) elements, is described in a
multi-service reference architecture in order to perform QoS-related,
service-related, and subscriber-related operations. The Access Node
Control Mechanism is also extended for interaction between components
of the Access Node Complex (OLT and ONT). The Access Node Control
Mechanism will ensure that the transmission of information between
the NAS and Access Node Complex (ANX) and between the OLT and ONT
within an ANX does not need to go through distinct element managers
but rather uses direct device-to-device communication and stays on
net. This allows for performing access-link-related operations
within those network elements to meet performance objectives.
