1 — ONT and MDU overview
The following list provides a description of the hardware and software functions
supported for all ONTs.
1
The hardware functional blocks are described in the ONT unit data sheets.
2
Low level device drivers control elements of each functional block on an ONT.
3
The embedded Linux kernel provides the operating system for the ONT.
4
Each ONT supports the following protocols:
5
SOC-based ONTs rate-limit the number of control packets for protocols IGMP,
DHCP, and ARP to 10 control packets per second by ONT UNI port. IGMP is
not rate-limited for an ONT UNI port if an IGMP channel is provisioned for the
port.
6
ONTs provide a file storage database (flash or SDRAM).
