Method and Apparatus for Extending Multipoint Control Protocols to Mixed Media Access Systems

摘要

A method and apparatus for extending multipoint control protocols to mixed media access systems. A medium-to-medium adaptor can be provided in an adaptor node that can interface with an upstream optical line terminal in a PON domain and a downstream device in a non-PON domain. The medium-to-medium adaptor enables an implementation of end-to-end services across multiple quality of service (QoS) domains by passing all traffic with controlled delay and without contention.
