| Project Stream Name | Description | Project Stream Lead |
|---|---|---|
Unassigned Project Stream | 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. | Managed by Access WA Directors |
Access Interoperability and Test | Interoperability project stream is dedicated to PON system interoperability of telecom services over multi-vendor and multi-carrier inter-connections. The Interoperability project stream has also added OLT NETCONF management interoperability between OLT NETCONF server interfaces and third-party NETCONF clients such as an SDN controller. | Justin Nelson, UNH-IOL Vincent Buchoux, LAN |
Access Management | The Access Management Project Stream is dedicated to the development of NETCONF management models to manage ITU-T and IEEE PON YANG models. Common access model promote interoperability between NETCONF servers and 3rd party NETCONF clients. | Joey Boyd, ADTRAN Sven Ooghe, Nokia |
| Access Architecture and Framework | The Access Architecture and Framework PS is dedicated to developing developing technical specifications for broadband access networks, including fixed wireless access, such as nodal requirements for access nodes, requirements for PON based mobile backhaul networks, authentication of network endpoints, and access network power saving. | Samuel Chen, Broadcom Frank Van der Putten, Nokia |

For flexible and agile service adaptation at a low cost in the next-generation optical access system, a new system architecture, which is based on SDN/NFV technologies, should be required. The most promising way to pursue the new architecture is disaggregating PON functions to functional modules with open interfaces. The project propose a new work item to progress the architecture further by specifying a PON abstraction interface for time-critical processing functions, e.g. Dynamic Bandwidth Assignment (DBA), which is not covered existing BBF documents and on-going projects.
