DOCSIS provisioning of EPON (DPoE): architecture and services

DOCSIS Provisioning of EPON is rapidly becoming the technology of choice for cable operators looking for a cost-effective way to deploy high-data-rate Metro Ethernet Forum services in FTTx architecture. This unique combination of Ethernet passive optical network for data transport and field-proven DOCSIS provisioning systems opens a new chapter for business services. Support for mobile backhauling, metro Ethernet point-to-point, voice, and data service is available today, with metro Ethernet point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint services support expected to be added in the future.
