Non-PS Assigned

Projects that don’t fit under the scope of an existing Project Stream or if they fit under the scope of more than one Project Stream, are developed under the Non-PS Assigned category. 

Architecture and Requirements

This Project Stream defines how an FTTdp network can be deployed from an end-to-end perspective and defines the requirements for the Distribution Point Unit (DPU). These requirements enable the DPU to offer ultra-fast broadband service to end-users using the existing twisted pair cabling. It also covers the requirements to properly troubleshoot the DPU and connect it to a Persistent Management Agent (PMA).

FTTdp Management

This Project Stream aims to publish an extensive set of YANG modules that allow managing the different aspects of a DPU, including the Gfast or VDSL2 broadband connection. This Project Stream also collaborates with the Common YANG Project Stream when defining more generic YANG modules that can be leveraged by DPUs. Finally this Project Stream also addresses the management architecture that will enable similar control from the PMA back to the network management systems and OSS. Overall, this work aims to reduce network management complexity.

FTTdp Management Interop & Testing

This Project Stream addresses the real-life interoperability challenges when connecting the PMA to the DPU, by defining an interop test plan. With this plan, PMA and DPU suppliers can verify whether or not their implementations are interoperable and can be used to deploy an Fttdp network.
