Ethernet technology for LAN is the core of the EPON. EPON is a common solution in Asia, due to its low-cost equipment and compatibility with existing installations. Simple installation makes it first

Interoperability is a term used for assuming that equipment/technology is successfully operating between different manufacturers, without any problem. One of the interoperability standard

Three main types of EPON are differentiating in speed and distance. 1000 BASE-PX10 is providing maximum distance of 10 km, while 1000 BASE-PX20 and 10G EPON maximum distance is 20 km.  

In BPON and GPON Ethernet frames are encapsulated and transmitted already inside other type of frames. In EPON, however, Ethernet frames are transmitted natively without use of TDM. Technology is show

In the upstream direction of the GPON, T-CONT frames are transmitted for the management purposes. T-CONT contain one of two - either ATM cells or GEM frames. T-CONTs are identified by unique AllocIDs,
