Abstract:
A point-to-multipoint communication method in an Ethernet-based PON(Passive Optical Network) and a device thereof are provided to solve a problem that communication is not available among ONUs(Optical Network Units) when traffic is abandoned, and to enable an OLT(Optical Line Terminal) to disguise MAC(Medium Access Control) addresses of the ONUs to send an ARP(Address Resolution Protocol) response on behalf of the ONUs, thereby preventing a potential risk of hacking. An OLT(30) comprises as follows. A proxy ARP plus block(302) searches ARP tables of all interfaces including an interface which transmits an ARP request, and transmits an ARP response to the corresponding destination even when transmitting/receiving interfaces are the same. An L2/L3 switch block(300) individually relays communication between the proxy ARP plus block and an L2/L3 switch block and communication between ONUs(304,306).

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and apparatus for controlling downlink traffic in an EPON(Ethernet Passive Optical Network) are provided to control impartiality among ONUs(Optical Network Units) by transmitting downlink data by a token allocated to each ONU and accordingly guaranteeing a contracted band of each ONU. CONSTITUTION: The different number of tokens are generated according to a contracted transmission rate of each ONU(S100). The certain number of tokens for guaranteeing a minimum transmission rate of each ONU is stored separately(S200). When downlink data is generated(S300), the downlink data is transmitted to a target ONU by applying a certain downlink traffic control algorithm(S400).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for assigning a data transmission band of an ONU(Optical Network Unit) in a gigabit Ethernet PON(Passive Optical Network) and a message field structure therefor are provided to improve the fairness among a plurality of ONUs by assigning the data transmission band with respect to a transmission bandwidth necessary for an OLT(Optical Line Termination) and the number of end users connected to each ONU. CONSTITUTION: An ONU(110) grasps the number of end users connected to a plurality of ONUs and a transmission bandwidth necessary for the end users(201). The ONU(110) generates a message including information about the necessary transmission bandwidth(203), and transmits the generated message to an OLT(100)(205). The OLT(100) analyzes messages received from a plurality of the ONUs(207), and assigns a band according to the number of the end users and necessary transmission bandwidth information(209).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for transmitting an OAM(Operation, Administration and Maintenance) packet in a PON(Passive Optical Network) is provided to prevent blocking of even an OAM packet using a MAC client packet format in a PAUSE operation by correcting the PAUSE operation defined in IEEE802.3 Clause31 and Annex31B. CONSTITUTION: In transmitting a OAM packet in an EPON(Ethernet PON) including one OLT(Optical Line Terminal) and at least one ONU(Optical Network Unit) connected to the OLT, an MAC control layer recognizes an OAM frame so as not to block OAM data in a PAUSE operation, identifies the recognized OAM data and transmits it to a lower layer of the MAC. When PAUSE occurs at a point 'A', the OAM packet can be transmitted by the method 2 and, at a point 'B', the OAM packet can be transmitted by necessarily using both the method 1 and the method 2.

An idle pattern output-control circuit used in a point-to-multipoint communication based Gigabit Ethernet-passive optical network (GE-PON) is provided to prevent data loss caused by an idle pattern in a Gigabit-Ethernet controller. In a GE-PON having an optical-line terminal (OLT), a plurality of optical-network units (ONUs) connected to each other via an optical-distribution network (ODN), a media-access controller (MAC), and a physical-coding sublayer (PCS), in which the PCS transmits idle-pattern data to a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) when there is no data to be transmitted to the OLT, an idle-pattern output-control circuit comprising a data converter for converting an idle-pattern data generated from the PCS into a low-level optical signal for subsequent transmission to the OLT, and a switching circuit for selecting data generated from the PCS for subsequent transmission to the SERDES when there is data to be transmitted and for selecting data converted by the data converter for subsequent transmission to the SERDES when there is no data to be transmitted.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for switching Ethernet passive optical network and a layer 2 is provided to realize subscriber-to-subscriber communication as well as ONU-to-ONU within the layer 2. CONSTITUTION: A predetermined PHY ID is granted to each service port or subscriber port(S1,...,S9) connected with each ONU(Optical Network Unit)(450,510,550). The PHY ID is tagged and filtered to a transmission frame by using PHY ID tagging/detagging layers(455,515,555). An Ethernet frame has the predetermined port connected with the ONU as a destination is transmitted through a port of an L2(Layer2) switch(440) assigned to the port in case that an OLT(Optical Line Termination)(410) receives the Ethernet frame.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A point-to-point emulation method in a GE-PON(Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network) is provided to offer an Ethernet frame structure for peer-to-peer transmission in a GE-PON system and to embody point-to-point emulation by using the Ethernet frame structure. CONSTITUTION: In a PON structure that consists of one OLT(Optical Line Termination)(30) and a plurality of ONUs(Optical Network Units)(32a-32d), the OLT(30) comprises an 802.3 PHY(PHYsical) field, an 802.3 MAC(Media Access Controller) field, a bridge(60), and a PON ONU MUX/DEMUX block(70). The bridge(60) has ports(61-64) respectively mapped to ONUs 1 through n for point-to-point emulation and a normal port(65) to process not a PON tagging Ethernet frame but an existing Ethernet frame. The PON ONU MUX/DEMUX block(70), when an Ethernet frame is transmitted from the OLT to an ONU, sets the Ethernet type as a PON Ethernet tagging frame, and sets an allocated ONU ID to an ONU ID tag. In case that an Ethernet frame is transmitted from an ONU to the OLT, the PON ONU MUX/DEMUX block(70) checks whether the Ethernet type is set as a PON Ethernet tagging frame. Each ONU(32a-32d) comprises an 802.3 PHY field, an 802.3 MAC field, a PON ONU ID filtering block(50), and an LLC(Logical Link Control)(40).
