Method of controlling loop-back process in Ethernet passive optical network

摘要

A method of controlling a loop-back process between a local device and a remote device in an Ethernet passive optical network is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: (a) adding a predetermined field into a loop-back control OAM PDU in the loop-back process, the predetermined field having distinguishing messages for initiation of a loop-back process and messages for termination of a loop-back process; and (b) the local device and the remote device performing a loop-back process using the loop-back control OAM PDU.
