P1904.2 - Standard for Management Channel for Customer-Premises Equipment Connected to Ethernet-based Subscriber Access Networks

Project Details

This standard describes a management channel for customer-premises equipment (CPE) connected to Ethernet-based subscriber access networks. The key characteristics of the specified management channel are: - Multi-hop capabilities to allow management of various CPE devices located behind an Optical Network Unit (ONU), a Coaxial Network Unit (CNU), a Residential Gateway (RGW), etc. - Extensibility to accommodate new management protocols and/or new types of CPE devices. - Broadcast/multicast capabilities to allow simultaneous (synchronized) configuration of multiple devices. - Encryption capabilities to ensure secure access to managed CPE devices by the network operators. The standard describes the message format as well as processing operations and forwarding rules at the intermediate nodes.

Existing Standards	Superseded 1904.1-2013 - IEEE Standard for Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (SIEPON) This standard describes the system-level requirements needed to ensure service-level, multi-vendor interoperability of Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) equipment. The specifications complement the existing IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.1 standards, which ensure the interoperability at the Physical Layer (PHY) and Data Link Layer. Specifically included in this specification are - EPON system-level interoperability specifications covering equipment functionality, traffic engineering, and service-level quality of service/class of service (QoS/CoS) mechanisms; - Management specifications covering equipment management, service management, and EPON power‐saving mechanism.

	Active 1904.1-Conformance02-2014 - IEEE Standard for Conformance Test Procedures for Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks, IEEE Std 1904.1(TM) Package B This standard specifies a suite of conformance tests for system-level requirements of Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) equipment, defined in IEEE 1904.1 Package B.
	Active 1904.1-Conformance03-2014 - IEEE Standard for Conformance Test Procedures for Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks, IEEE Std 1904.1(TM) Package C This standard specifies a suite of conformance tests for system-level requirements of Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) equipment, defined in IEEE 1904.1 Package C.
	Active 1904.1-2017 - IEEE Standard for Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (SIEPON) The system-level requirements needed to ensure service-level, multi-vendor interoperability of Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) equipment is described. The existing IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.1 standards, which ensure the interoperability at the Physical Layer (PHY) and Data Link Layer, are complemented by the specifications. Specifically included in this specification are - EPON system-level interoperability specifications covering equipment functionality, traffic engineering, and service-level quality of service/class of service (QoS/CoS) mechanisms; - Management specifications covering equipment management, service management, and EPON power‐saving mechanism.
