ITU-T Recommendation G.984.4

Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks ( G-PON ) : ONT management and control interface specification

Reference models and terms

6.1 OMCI in ITU-T Rec. G.984.2The architecture reference model is in ITU-T Rec. G.984.2 .While this document provides some minimal modelling for ONUs with service interfaces ,detailed OMCI support for ONUs with 802.11 and xDSL interface is in ITU-T Recs G.983.9 and G.983.10 . ( OMCI = ONT management and control interface )

Reference models and terms

6.2 ONT/ONU functions

Reference models and terms

access network line termination function (AN-LT)user network interface line termination function (UNI-LT)service multiplexing and de-multiplexing function (Service MUX and DEMUX).

Reference models and terms

6.3 VP/VC Mux functionality in the ONT In ITU-T Rec. G.984.3, the end-to-end G-PON system (i.e., OLT, ODN and ONT) can function as an ATM VP or VC cross-connection.

Reference models and terms

6.4 Encapsulation in GEM frameAs the GEM is embedded in the PON section, it is independent of the types of UNIs . The UNI traffic is always encapsulated in GEM frames .(GEM = G-PON encapsulation method)

Reference models and terms

6.5 Support of Multicast connectionWhile a Port-ID is assigned to a T-CONT in a unicast connection, a Port-ID is shared by multiple T-CONTs in a multicast connection.(T-CONT = Transmission Container)

Requirements of the management interface specifications

The OMCI is used by the OLT to control an ONT. This protocol allows the OLT to:

establish and release connections across the ONTmanage the UNIs at the ONTrequest configuration information and performance statisticsautonomously inform the system operator of events such as link failures

Requirements of the management interface specifications

The OMCI protocol is asymmetric: the controller in the OLT is the master and the one in the ONT is the slave.The OMCI requirements given in this Recommendation are needed to manage the ONT in the following areas:

configuration managementfault managementperformance management security management

Requirements of the management interface specifications

7.1 Configuration managementIt involves the following:

Configuration of equipmentConfiguration of the UNIsConfiguration of the VP Network CTP-Gs, ATM VP Cross-Connections, and GEM Port Network CTPsConfiguration of Interworking Termination PointsConfiguration of the OAM flows

Configuration of the physical portsConfiguration of AAL profilesConfiguration of service profilesConfiguration of traffic descriptorsConfiguration of GAL profiles( CTP = Connection Termination Point )( AAL = ATM Adaptation Layer )( GAL = GEM Adaptation Layer )

Requirements of the management interface specifications

7.4 Security management The protection configuration that is defined in ITU-T Rec. G.983.5 is considered in this Recommendation. Though ITU-T Rec. G.983.6 specifies the OMCI for B-PON protection, a new scheme for G-PON protection is needed because G-PON has a different protocol stack from ‑B PON.

Protocol-independent MIB for the OMCI

This Recommendation defines a protocol necessary to support capabilities identified by ITU-T Recs G.984.2 and G.984.3.A protocol-independent MIB is used to describe the exchange of information across the OMCI.

Protocol-independent MIB for the OMCI

8.1 Managed entitiesThe protocol-independent MIB presented in this Recommendation has been defined in terms of managed entities. The managed entities are abstract representations of resources and services in an ONT. This Recommendation uses three levels for indicating the degree of compliance necessary for specific functions and managed entities associated with the OMCI specification:

Requirement (R)Conditional Requirements (CR)Option (O)
