2.14.3 Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA)
The DBA (Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation) is available in order to optimize the upstream bandwidth. This mechanism consists in defining an ad-
equate T-CONT to the service traffic in question. There are five types of T-CONT, defined by the Fixed, Assured and Maximum Parameters:
Type 1: Only fixed Bandwidth;
Type 2: Only Assured Bandwidth;
Type 3: Assured+Maximum Bandwidth;
Type 4: Only Maximum Bandwidth (Best Effort);

In each GPON interface there are 1024 Alloc-ID (T-CONT identifiers) available, provided to manage ONT services. They are distributed in the fol-
lowing way:
