GPON AND ACTIVE ETHERNET UI BASED ZNID
In this chapter we will build triple play solutions using the browser based
GPON zNID, Active Ethernet zNID and the MXK by building bridges for
each of the component solutions — data, video, and voice — on separate
VLANs as they would be done in a real world environment.
As discussed earlier (Section 1, VLANs for the data, video and voice services)
we will use separate VLANs for data, video and voice. Having each service
on its own VLAN not only separates the known traffic from video and voice
servers from the unknown traffic from the Internet gateway, it allows us to
isolate the video traffic to use the Fast Path feature of the browser-based
zNIDs.
Notice in Figure 10 that both the GPON and Active Ethernet solutions use the
same uplink bridges (in fact the OMCI GPON solution does as well). Each
solution has its own downlink. The downlink/downstream links for GPON are
identical to each other. The Active Ethernet is only a bit different.
