5. Brings the mature systems and business processes of
the DOCSIS OSS to EPON access networks
Enables full vendor/equipment interoperability – similar
to CMTS and Cable Modems
Leverages existing technical and customer care
knowledge base, systems, and processes
Developed by MSOs, CableLabs, and vendors

6. DPoE Project Objectives
Develop specifications for EPON devices to support
1 DOCSIS network provisioning and service concepts
Define additional functionality to support Ethernet
2 services
Facilitate multi-vendor interoperability

Authentication and
IP Initialization
Encryption Initialization
• Downstream encryption • IP stack configuration using
using AES‐128 Dynamic Host
• Device authentication Configuration Protocol
(DHCP)
• TFTP download of
configuration file
Topology Resolution and Registration
Physical Layer Initialization
• Registration of additional
• Initial MAC layer
LLIDs depends on services
initialization using EPON
• Classifier, service flow, and
Multipoint Control
QoS configuration using
Protocol (MPCP)
extended OAM (eOAM)
• Single LLID is registered for
subsequent stages

10. SIEPON “Packages”
SIEPON is standardizing
three “packages”:
o North America (Package A)
o Japan (Package B)
o China (Package C)
External specifications
provide additional
requirements for operating
EPON in specific
environments:
o DPoE specs for DOCSIS
environments
o Broadband Forum for DSL
environments

11. SIEPON / DPoE v1.0 Relationship
DPoE specs essentially build on SIEPON standard
