Abstract:
A first network device may configure a first bridge connecting a passive optical network (PON) controller and first optical line terminals (OLTs) of the first network device. The first network device may be associated with a PON and each of the first OLTs may be connected to a first plurality of optical network units (ONUs). The first network device may establish a connection between the first bridge and a second bridge of a second network device. The second network device is associated with the PON, the second bridge may connect with second OLTs of the second network device, and each of the second OLTs may connect to a second plurality of ONUs. The PON controller of first network device may receive traffic from a PON domain manager and may provide the traffic to the first OLTs and the first plurality of ONUs via the first bridge.
