Enabling communication between two end terminals in a fibre optic network

摘要

A first end terminal and a second end terminal, as well as a respective method therein, are provided for enabling communication between the first end terminal and the second end terminal in a fibre optic access network. When the first and the second end terminal wish to communicate with each other, they first initiate a synchronisation procedure with the other end terminal for synchronising the two terminals with each other and enabling them to start a negotiation procedure. Then they perform the negotiation procedure,which pertains to a transmission rate for communication on the fibre link between the two end terminals, and they execute communication to the other end terminal employing the negotiated transmission rate.
