Dear EPON colleagues,
At our last conference call we reviewed a list of action
items to be covered prior to our next meeting.
Our intention is to scrub our document, and harmonizing the
three EPON clauses 58, 64 and 65.
Currently the AI list includes:
- We have removed the OMP block as of draft 1.4, however
the some of the inter block communication paradigms still rely on OMP.xyz
primitives. TransmitFrame should be used consistently as an outbound
interface; while the inbound interface should be consistent with the
“opcode specific function activation” paradigm.
- Diagram 64-3 is not required, as it is redundant
with the updated diagram 64-2
- References to variable – Master need to be
removed
- Description of Shared LAN Emulation in 64.3.4.2 needs
to be reviewed.
- Textual description of processes in 64.3.3 requires
further review to reflect advancements in Draft 1.4
- Description of client interfaces should be collected to
a single location under 64.3.11 “Service Interfaces”. This
would collect all client interfaces from their present locations under
64.3.8, 64.3.9, and 64.3.10
- Scrub for consistency of interfaces with Clause 65
(LLID interfaces).
- Scrub for consistency of interfaces with Clause 58
(laser control signal).
- Scrub language in text to insert “Shall” to
appropriate locations.
- Update definitions of watchdog behavior in ONU (based
on received Gates) and OLT (based on received Reports). Formerly the
watchdog was located at the OMP block, now it should reside at the Gate
Processing or the Report Processing for the ONU and the OLT respectively.
- Review definitions and abbreviations at opening of
Clause 64 and 65 prior to insertion into Clause 1.
- Issue rose at last meeting regarding jabber like functionality
for PMD.
- Open comments on Draft 1.3.
- Address all the Editor’s notes throughout
document.
At our next call we shall begin reviewing proposed solutions
to issues raised. Volunteers are sought to help take ownership of AI from the
list.
Regards,
Ariel
