Extended queue polling mechanism for ITU G.984 GPON system

摘要

The invention relates to a method to allocate bandwidth to different types of traffic flows into a Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) with an Optical Line Termination (OLT) and several Optical Line Units (ONU), where the traffic from the ONUs is sent upstream out of Transmission Containers (T-CONT) and each Transmission Container comprises several distinct packet buffers, out of which the transmission queues of traffic are sent, whereby each traffic flow requires a certain upstream bandwidth and the bandwidth for the transmission queues is dynamically allocated from the OLT to the specific ONU.
