RE: [LinkSec] MACSec PAR - Applicability to OLT-ONU Link
Dolors,
Will the MACsec project provide protocol mechanisms to protect against the
connection of an unauthorized ONU to a service provider OLT? It appears that
maybe a future project / PAR would be required to address this scenario (if
it is felt that such protection is needed).
