Abstract
An enhanced optical line terminal (OLT) controller capable of providing traffic processing features. The OLT controller comprises an Ethernet switch operable in a stacking mode and being capable of mapping between Ethernet addresses and passive optical network (PON) addresses. The Ethernet switch is connected to a PON medium access control (MAC) adapter via a stacking port and being capable of processing Ethernet frames relayed on the PON network. The mapping information is kept by the Ethernet switch in a forwarding table.
