[rbak-nsp] off topic - GPON

[Delian Delchev]

Basically there is no interoperability. The lower layers may run but everyone has essential and proprietary management extensions that covers vlan, ip security, encryption, multicast and other configurations. All the interoperability tests check just frame exchange and omci channel but not complete configuration. Something more - there are interoperability issues even between the different chipset vendors. This is my experience at least.
If you buy olt you have to use ont from the same vendor.

Hello,

I'am writting here because some of you probably have a contact with xPON 
systems.

What can you (if you can ;) say about GPON (not GEPON) interoperability ?

I mean, let's pick Ericsson's OLT. Do you have any experience when 
operator want's to use a lot of different ONUs ?

I'am interested up to the level of configuration:
- vlans
- IGMP fast leave
- stp
- all other related to L1/L2 functions
How much is that standardized ? What can be expected.

I undestand that L3 (POTS, wifi, router) will be vendor specific and 
provisioning of this part may not be standardized.

As far now we have some experience with Corecess GEPON, but 
interoperability here doesn't look good...

Regards,
Marcin
