Abstract
An optical line terminal includes: one or more optical line termination units to which an optical network unit of an optical communication system is connected, the one or more optical line termination units acquiring an allocation requested bandwidth from the optical network unit connected; a slice management unit that manages slice configuration information indicating which slice each of the optical network unit connected to the optical line termination unit is included in, and manages a limitation on allocation of bandwidth for the optical network unit as a parameter for allocating bandwidth; and a bandwidth allocation unit that determines, for each of the slice, an allocated bandwidth for each of the optical network unit connected to the optical line termination unit on the basis of the allocation requested bandwidth, the slice configuration information, and the parameter for allocating bandwidth.
