IEEE 1904.1-2017 - IEEE Standard for Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (SIEPON)

Standard Details

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.

Active Projects	Active P1904.2 - Standard for Universal Management Tunnel for Ethernet-based Subscriber Access Networks This standard describes a Universal Management Tunnel (UMT) for devices used in Ethernet-based subscriber access networks. The key characteristics of the specified management mechanism are: - The ability to transit Layer 2 bridges in a single IEEE 802 Media Access Control (MAC) domain to allow remote device management; - Extensibility to accommodate new management protocols and new types of devices; - The ability to simultaneously send messages to multiple UMT stations using broadcast or multicast addressing. The standard describes the message format as well as processing operations at the stations participating in the UMT protocol.
	Active P1904.4 - Standard for Service Interoperability in 25 Gb/s and 50 Gb/s Ethernet Passive Optical Networks This standard describes the system-level requirements needed to provide service-level, multi-vendor interoperability of Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) equipment. The specifications complement the existing IEEE 802.3(TM) and IEEE 802.1Q(TM) standards, which enable the interoperability at the Physical Layer and Data Link Layer. Specifically included in this specification are: - 25G-EPON and 50G-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 power utilization.
