IEEE 1904.1

Description / Abstract: 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™ and IEEE 802.1™ standards, which enable the interoperability at the Physical Layer and Data Link Layer.1 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 power utilization.
