Introduction to GEPON System

Supports DBA algorithm: The minimum configurable bandwidth of the DBA is no more
than 256 kbit/s; the minimum bandwidth allocation granularity of the DBA is in steps of
4 kbit/s; the accuracy of the DBA is better than 5.

Supports long-distance transmission. By adopting PON technology, the long-distance

coverage problem of twisted pair cable access technology is solved. The maximum
transmission distance (PON+ twisted pair cable) can be more than 20 km.

Supports various kinds of ONU, such as SFU, cassette MDU (including LAN type and
XDSL type), shelf-based MDU and HGU ONU.

Supports extended OAM function.

4.1

Multicast Functions

The AN5116-06A features a point-to-multipoint PON network structure, and supports

multicast protocol. Using multicast, new value-added service can be easily supplied to
subscribers, such as live online, network radio, network TV, remote medical care, remote
education and real-time video meeting.

Supports IGMP V2 / V3 protocol.

Supports IGMP Proxy protocol and IGMP Snooping protocols.

Each sub-rack supports up to 4k concurrent multicast groups.

Supports management and identification of subscribers and program sources based on

multicast VLAN.

4.2

NGN Voice Functions

The AN5116-06A supports using ITU-T H.248, MGCP and SIP to achieve NGN voice
functions. It uses the ONU to access voice services and uses standard speech encoding
technology to convert voice signals into digital signals which are then transported to an IP
network in IP packets via the OLT. Call control is achieved by a soft-switch or IMS which
provides VoIP access for analog subscribers, meeting the requirements of carrier-class speech
quality, management and operation.
4.2.1

Outgoing call blocking.

Distinctive ring.

TDM Emulation Functions

The AN5116-06A provides E1 circuit emulation based on RFC 5086 (CESoPSN). The
AN5116-06A is equipped with CE1B card and C155A card which respectively provides E1
electrical interface and STM-1 optical interface for uplink connection. The AN5116-06A has a
CES protocol processor built in to translate between TDM format and Ethernet packet format.
Upstream direction: accesses Ethernet packets from the ONU side via EPON / GPON
service card, and after they are processed by core switching card, delivers them to CE1B /
C155A card for protocol translation and transforms them into E1 or STM-1 format to continue
upstream to the SDH network.
BRBRAITT, Jabalpur

Page

Introduction to GEPON System

Downstream direction: the CE1B / C155A card transforms of E1 / STM-1 TDM traffic
from the SDH network into Ethernet packets and distributes these to the ONUs, which then
restores the original E1 TDM traffic flow. Thus multiple TDM services like mobile base station
backhauling and E1 private line can be realized.
TDM emulation functions supported by the AN5116-06A are as follows:

Supports two uplink interfaces: STM-1 interface and E1 interface.

Supports TDM service using CESoPSN.

Supports asynchronous clock mode and synchronous clock mode.

Supports network management selection of the clock type: clock extracted from E1 line and
clock input on external clock interface of TDM card. There are four clock types to be chosen
via network management system.

4.4

Q-in-Q VLAN / VLAN Stacking Functions

VLAN, also named virtual LAN, is an end-to-end logic network built by network
management software which could go across different network segments and networks based on
switching LAN. The basic VLAN standard is IEEE802.1q. IEEE802.1ad adds VLAN stacking,
also called Q-in-Q VLAN, and is based on IEEE802.1q. Its core concept is to encapsulate the
VLAN tag of users private network in a VLAN tag of public network so that the users traffic
crosses the providers backbone network with two layers of tagging, which provides users with a
relatively simple double-layer VPN tunnel. This achieves transparent VLAN tag transport, i.e.
the users VLAN and the service provider VLAN are independent of each other, effectively
solving VLAN ID addressing space limit of 4k addresses.
Q-in-Q VLAN functions supported by the AN5116-06A are as follows:

Supports VLAN number extension: by adding Q-in-Q VLAN, the number of VLAN is
increased to 40964096 on the basis of existing VLANs.

Supports selected Q-in-Q: the system can add inner, outer VLAN based on the value of
source MAC address, destination MAC address, source IP address, destination IP address,
L4 source port No., L4 destination port No., Ethernet type, inner VLAN ID, outer VLAN
ID, service type, time-to-live, protocol type, L1 CoS, L2 CoS.

Supports subscriber and service differentiation through VLANs.

Supports setting subscribers S-VLAN based on card, PON port, ONU.

Supports selective Q-in-Q for one port, i.e. some services use stacked VLANs, whereas
other services still use single VLAN.

4.5

Flexible VLAN Translation Function

VLAN translation means access layer equipments transform VLAN tags labeled by users
into unique network-side VLAN tags. This can reduce carriers maintenance workload and
protect convergence layer network and core network.
The VLAN translation function provided by the AN5116-06A can be in one of the
following three forms:
BRBRAITT, Jabalpur

Page

Introduction to GEPON System

1:1 translation: non-convergence. Under this mode, VLAN translation of upstream and
downstream data traffic is done only by translation of the VID value.

N:1 translation: VLAN convergence function, i.e. converges a number of upstream VLANs
(e.g. VLAN 1, 2,, N) into a unique network-side VLAN ID; and remaps it into
corresponding multiple VLANs in the downstream direction.

Hybrid translation: supports hybrid use of 1:1 VLAN translation and N: 1 VLAN
convergence.

4.6

Card protection function

Supports 1:1 active / standby switching function of core

switching card, to make seamless switching. After switching of core card, the configuration
of upstream interface does not need to be changed, which greatly facilitates the users
maintenance and management operations.

Supports 1+1 active / standby protection function of

uplink interface card, Trunk protection and dual-homing protection of uplink interface:

When uplink card is set to be 1+1 active / standby

protection, two interfaces of uplink card are one-to-one protected. If GU6F is used as
uplink card, the equipment can provides maximally 6 GE uplink interfaces; if HU1A is
used as uplink card, the equipment can provide maximally 4 GE uplink interfaces and one
10GE uplink interface. If HU2A is used as uplink card, the equipment can provide
maximally 2 GE uplink interfaces and two 10GE uplink interfaces.

When uplink interfaces are set to Trunk, the bandwidth of

uplink interface can be extended and load equalization is finished automatically. Once an
interface of Trunk group fails, the flow of this interface is automatically shared between
other interfaces of this Trunk group. 12 GE uplink interfaces could form maximally 6
Trunk groups and each Trunk group could supports maximally 12 member interfaces. A
Trunk group of two 10GE uplink interfaces can be provided too.

When the uplink interfaces are set to dual-homing

protection, two uplink card interfaces are connected to two diversely routed optical
facilities, forming inter-system backup method and achieving load sharing. When one
system of the two is found to be in failure, the other system could take over its entire traffic
to ensure traffic remains unblocked.

Supports inter-card protection of the TDM card: the TDM card can be configured to
function independently or support 1:1 protection.
4.7

4.8

PON chip-level protection

Supports arbitrarily designating a PON MAC chip to be 1:1 protected. It can control the
switching of the PON MAC chip when a Loss of Signal is detected on the optical module
by hardware.
Power supply protection

BRBRAITT, Jabalpur

Page

Introduction to GEPON System

4.9

Two power supply cards work in dual-power input and protect against reverse polarity
connection. The power supply cards support a distributed power-fed mode and all powered
cards are fed with power independently. Any fault in one card doesnt influence other cards.
This greatly improves equipment reliability and stability.
Fan protection
The system uses fans for cooling. There are indicators on the fan units which indicate the
fan running status and the fan speed is adjusted automatically. The three fans are installed
independently, achieving easy maintenance.

5.0 Networking Introduction

The AN5116-06A is suitable for FTTH / FTTB application. Usually, it is placed in central
office. The AN5116-06As networking sketch map is shown in figure 3.

6.0 Application as per Technologies

6.1

Application to Q-in-Q VLAN

The AN5116-06A supports Q-in-Q VLAN function. By setting Service-VLAN on the

basis of Customer-VLAN, the VLAN number can be extended and thus the VLAN resource
bottleneck can be removed. Meantime, subscriber separation and unique identifier can be
realized by Customer-VLAN and service distinguishing can be realized by Service-VLAN.

BRBRAITT, Jabalpur

Page

Introduction to GEPON System

The networking figure for the AN5116-06A application to Q-in-Q VLAN is shown in
Figure .

Figure 4: The AN5116-06A application to Q-in-Q VLAN

On subscriber side of the AN5116-06A, two subscribers data and voice services are
labeled with Customer-VLAN tag via ONU. Customer-VLAN tags for data and voice services
accessed by ONU1 are respectively 1001 and 2001; and Customer-VLAN tags for those accessed
by ONU2 are 1002 and 2002. When two subscribers services are uploaded to the AN5116-06A
via ONU, they are labeled with Service-VLAN tags according to the different types of data and
voice services. The Service-VLAN tags of data and voice services are 1 and 2 respectively.
When Q-in-Q VLAN is added, those subscriber services with double VLAN encapsulation are
uploaded to upper network.
When those successfully configured subscriber services with Q-in-Q encapsulation are
downlinked from upper network to the AN5116-06A, if the VIDs of Service-VLAN tag
messages of the services are not consistent with the VIDs configured, the messages will be
discarded; if the VIDs of Service-VLAN tag messages of the services are not consistent with the
VIDs configured, the Service-VLAN tag will be stripped directly and forwarded to the ONU of
downlink equipment. In the same way, the equipment judges on the ONU the consistency
between the VIDs of Service-VLAN tag messages of the services and the VIDs configured. If
yes, it strips Customer-VLAN tags and transport the service packets to subscribers, or else it
discard the messages.
6.2

Application to VLAN Translation

VLAN translation is also named VLAN mapping. When various service flow of subscriber
side goes through terminal equipments supporting 802.1q (take HG as the example through the
BRBRAITT, Jabalpur

Page

11

Introduction to GEPON System

whole document), supposing HG label subscriber services with fixed tags, for the tags labeled by
HG could be out of the valid range defined by operators, the ONU will strip the default tags
labeled by HG and label valid tags when services are uplinked to the ONU. Then the VLAN
translation is finished.
VLAN translation includes two types of translation which are 1:1 VLAN translation and
N:1 VLAN translation. N:1 VLAN translation can converges several VLAN into one valid
VLAN.

Figure 5: 1:1 VLAN translation

On subscriber side of the AN5116-06A, subscribers data, voice, and multicast services
go through gateways and are labeled with different default VLAN tags respectively which are
100, 200, and 300. When subscribers services are uplinked to ONU, and are performed with 1:1
VLAN translation on ONU, the Customer-VLAN tags of data, voice and multicast services are
500, 600, and 700 respectively. When the services are uplinked to the AN5116-06A, they are
labeled with Service-VLAN tags which are 3000 on the AN5116-06A. When the labeling of Qin-Q VLAN is finished, those subscriber services with double VLAN encapsulation are uplinked
to upper network. The performance of VLAN translation can achieve distinguishing of
subscriber services on network side and reduce maintenance work and overhead of VLAN
resource because only one SVLAN is needed for a system.

BRBRAITT, Jabalpur

Page

12

Introduction to GEPON System

Figure 6: N:1 VLAN translation

On subscriber side of the AN5116-06A, subscribers data, voice, and multicast services
go through gateways and are labeled with different default VLAN tags respectively which are
100, 200, and 300. When subscribers services are uplinked to ONU, and performed with N:1
VLAN translation on ONU, the Customer-VLAN tags of all subscriber services are 500. When
the services are uplinked to the AN5116-06A, they are labeled with Service-VLAN tags which
are 3000 on the AN5116-06A. When the labeling of Q-in-Q VLAN is finished, those subscriber
services with double VLAN encapsulation are uplinked to upper network. The performance of
VLAN translation can achieve distinguishing of subscriber services on network side and reduce
maintenance work and overhead of VLAN resource because only one SVLAN is needed for a
system.

Figure 7: VLAN translation hybrid mode

Hybrid mode is consisted of 1:1 VLAN translation and N:1 VLAN translation. On
subscriber side of the AN5116-06A, subscribers data, voice, and multicast services go through
gateways and are labeled with different default VLAN tags respectively which are 100, 200, and
300. When subscribers services are uplinked to ONU, and performed with 1:1 VLAN translation
and N:1 VLAN translation on ONU, the Customer-VLAN tags of data and multicast services are
BRBRAITT, Jabalpur

Page

Introduction to GEPON System

500, and the Customer-VLAN tags of voice service are 600. When the services are uplinked to
the AN5116-06A, they are labeled with Service-VLAN tags which are 3000 on the AN5116-06A.
When the labeling of Q-in-Q VLAN is finished, those subscriber services with double VLAN
encapsulation are uplinked to upper network.
6.3

Application to IPTV Service

On Internet, such multimedia services as stream media, video meeting and digital TV, are
becoming an important constituent part of information transmission. However, point-to-point
unicast is not suitable for them because of their transmission feature which is point-to-multipoint.
If point-to-point unicast mode is used, servers must provide each receiver with an IP message
duplicate copy and the same messages will be repeatedly transmitted in the network. It will
occupy lots of network resource. Although IP broadcast allows one host to send one IP message
to all hosts in the same network, yet not all hosts need this message. Therefore, much network
resource is wasted. Multicast technology is born under such a circumstance. It allows one host to
send one copy of a multicast frame to multiple dedicated receivers.
The AN5116-06A transmits multicast service in SCB+IGMP mode, and performs
multicast service control and management via multicast control message. See figure 8 for the
AN5116-06A application to multicast service.

Figure 8: The AN5116-06A application to multicast service

The AN5116-06A supports IGMP Proxy / Snooping. The AN5116-06A works in IGMP
Proxy mode and ONU works in IGMP Snooping mode. When OLT receives IGMP join message
sent by a certain subscriber, it captures this message and performs authorization. If the multicast
group to join doesnt exist in the multicast forward table of OLT, OLT will send an IGMP joining
BRBRAITT, Jabalpur

Page

14

Introduction to GEPON System

request to multicast server and create this group in its table; if the group has already existed in its
table, OLT will directly add the subscriber to its table and set correspondence relationship
between multicast service and the subscriber.
Users can choose to disable the AN5116-06As IGMP Proxy function. In this case,
multicast messages will be broadcast to all EPON interfaces and all ONUs.
The AN5116-06A also supports controllable multicast function. Because IGMP Proxy /
Snooping doesnt include subscriber authentication, subscribers can join or leave a multicast
group at will. And the operators cannot charge subscribers. To solve these problems, the
AN5116-06A controls and manages the access of subscriber multicast service, and performs
subscriber multicast information recording and statistics, and controls and manages multicast
program sources. This could effectively prevent protocol attack, illegal multicast sources, illegal
rebroadcasting, and illegal receivers, so as to guarantee operators benefits.
6.4

Application to VoIP Service

The AN5116-06A supports VoIP function. First connect a plain telephone to RJ-11 port of
an ONU. After the voice service is accessed, perform compression encoding to voice signals via
speech compression algorithm to achieve analog-digital translation. Then transform voice data in
packet to IP network in real time via OLT. The call control is realized by soft-switch equipments.
At meantime when the receiving end receives IP data, these IP data are restored to original voice
signals through corresponding decoding and decompression.
The AN5116-06A supports MGCP, H.248 and SIP, and its soft-switch interface is perfectly
connected to MGC gateways produced by various mainstream manufacturers. See figure 9 for
the AN5116-06A application to VoIP voice service.

Figure 9: The AN5116-06A application to NGN voice service

6.5

Application to CATV Service

The CATV signal source produces CATV signals independent of the AN5116-06A.
According to the density of CATV signal source, the signals are amplified and split to different
BRBRAITT, Jabalpur

Page

Introduction to GEPON System

paths at transmission end and then incorporated with the AN5116-06As EPON signals in a
single fiber for transmission by adding a multiplexer outside using WDM theory. Then CATV
signals are demultiplexed by demultiplexer on remote end ONU. Users can connect TV set to RF
interface of ONU to get accessed to CATV service. See figure 10 for the AN5116-06A
application to CATV service.

Figure 10: The AN5116-06A application to CATV service

7.0 Application to Situations

7.1

Application to Business Buildings

Users in business buildings have relatively higher ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) and
more concentrated locations. They occupy an important position in operators competition.
Incorporating voice, data, TDM service and video service, the AN5116-06A is the best
choice for business building users. It can provide users with the following services.
1. Broadband data access: Ethernet interface based;
2. Voice service access: plain old telephone service based, also via some intelligent
terminals (with Ethernet interfaces);
3. Video service access: coaxial cable interface based CATV service or Ethernet
interface based IPTV service;
4. Private line service access: TDM based E1 private line access.
In the application to business buildings, the AN5116-06A can connect SBU (Single
Business Unit) ONU and MDU ONU. MDU ONU can be further subdivided into types such as
LAN, xDSL and card types. See figure 11 for more information about application to business
buildings networking.

BRBRAITT, Jabalpur

Page

16

Introduction to GEPON System

Figure 11: The AN5116-06A application to business buildings

As shown in above figure, it is recommended that Fiber to the Office (FTTO) is adopted in
newly-built business buildings. If users only need data or telephone service, AN5006-04 is
recommended as ONU. And if TDM private line service is needed additionally, AN5006-06A-A
or AN5006-20 (equipped with TDM card) is recommended as ONU and at the meantime the
AN5116-06A also need to be equipped with TDM card. For those business buildings that have
already built a LAN or telephone line network, it is recommended to adopt LAN, xDSL, or shelfbased MDU to upgrade current network or equipments to save costs. AN5006-07 / 09 / 10 is
recommended as ONU for LAN MDU; AN5006-20 is recommended as ONU for shelf-based
MDU.
7.2

Application to Intelligent Residence Communities

Intelligent residence communities use modern information network technologies to

construct a broadband information service access platform. This platform can receive, transmit,
collect and monitor all kinds of information completely, real-timely and effectively. With EPON
application to intelligent residence communities, more and more families can obtain information
BRBRAITT, Jabalpur

Page

17

Introduction to GEPON System

via broadband access network. The information service is diversified, becoming more and more
comprehensive and layered. Currently, the information services mainly include family
information service, residence house automation, public service and property management
service, such as remote meter reading, building interphone, public facilities management, exit
and entry control, public broadcast, resident archives management, fee charging and automatic
accounting of three meters (i.e. water, kilowatt hour and gas meters). All these services are
accessed to property management servers by the AN5116-06A and performed by service
providers of the property company.
Newly built residence communities can use FTTH mode. For old communities or the
communities not supporting FTTH, ONU can be placed in the aisles or in the equipment room.
That is to adopt LAN, xDSL or shelf-based MDU for networking to save costs. AN5006 /
AN5506-07 / 09 / 10 is recommended as ONU for LAN MDU; AN5006-20 is recommended as
ONU for shelf-based MDU. See figure 12 for the AN5116-06A application to intelligent
residence communities in FTTH mode.

Figure 12: The AN5116-06A application to intelligent residence communities

To meet the intelligent residence requirements on door-entry control, fire fighting, room
temperature, supply voltage and smoke alarms, ONUs used together with the AN5116-06A
provide dry contact interfaces connecting external monitoring equipments. When a dry contact
interface detects environment alarms, it will instantly report to network management system to
remind users, so as to meet users integrated service requirements.
7.3

Application to Internet Bars

In Internet bars, the access rates are typically 10 Mbit/s, 20 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s, and the
service types are simple, based on high-rate Internet private line access, plus some possible voice
service. Internet bars usually spread around. They require a network system with strong covering
capability. Therefore, fiber access becomes the first choice for most Internet bars.
With data and voice access, as well as excellent OAM features, the AN5116-06A fully
meets the requirements of one network, two bars (Internet bar + phone bar). It satisfies the
requirement to obtain high-rate Internet private line service and voice service through a single
BRBRAITT, Jabalpur

fiber, and performs uniform management by the same network platform. See Figure for the
AN5116-06A application to Internet bars.

Figure 13: The AN5116-06A application to Internet bars

As shown in the above figure, multiple Internet bars services are accessed into the
AN5116-06A via a splitter. Each Internet bar is equipped with one ONU. Each ONU executes
data and voice service access for Internet bar.
7.4

Application to City Security Monitoring Project

City security monitoring project is a huge and comprehensive management system. It not
only meets public security management, city management, traffic management and emergency
management requirements, but also meets video monitor requirements of disastrous accident
early warning and safety production. Furthermore, it takes into account the integration of alarmreporting and door-entry control system, as well as the interconnection with broadcast system.
During the safety city construction, digital monitoring is a key factor. Because lots of
digital video recorders are spread around the city, longer distance transmission and line resource
saving are required. The video signals from video recorders to monitoring center need 1Mbit/s or
more bandwidth. If EPON system is used to access digital monitoring service, the above
requirements can be well satisfied. See Figure for the AN5116-06A application to city security
monitoring project.
As shown in the figure, ONU is placed in the monitor point; the encoder and hard-disk
video recorder are connected to ONU via Ethernet interface and they perform compression
encoding to the collected real-time images which is then uplinked to the AN5116-06A. The
AN5116-06A is placed in supervision center room and connected to network matrix host in
