由上所知,EPON系统由一个OLT、若干ONU以及连接它们的光纤和无源光切分/耦合器组成.因为EPON中OLT侧和ONU侧实现的功能是不对称的,因此在EPON系统中需要分别针对OLT和ONU进行专用集成电路的设计,完成上、下行业务的处理.图4为EPON的系统示意图,阴影部分由EPON专用集成电路实现.其中,ODN(Optical Distribution Network)是光分布网络,OAMP DU(Operations, Administration and Maintenance PRotocol Data Unit)为运行管理和维护协议数据单元, MPCPDU( MultiPoint Control Protocol Data Unit)为多点控制协议数据单元。
