Abstract: Embodiments enable a network operator to use any (and a single) network management system (NMS) that it desires to manage a network having mixed fiber to the home optical network units (ONUs) and coaxial connected cable modems. For example, embodiments enable a cable company operator to use a DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) NMS (which the cable company already uses to manage its DOCSIS network) to manage such mixed network, by a simple addition of a DOCSIS Mediation Layer (DML) module between the NMS and the optical line terminal (OLT). On the other hand, embodiments enable a telephone company operator to use a standard EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) OLT NMS with minor OLT and OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) protocol modifications to manage the same mixed network.

Abstract translation: 实施例使得网络运营商能够使用任何（和单个）网络管理系统（NMS），其希望将具有混合光纤的网络管理到家庭光网络单元（ONU）和同轴连接的电缆调制解调器。 例如，实施例使电缆公司运营商能够通过简单地添加DOCSIS中介层来使用DOCSIS（电缆公司已经用于管理其DOCSIS网络的NMS）来管理这样的混合网络 （DML）模块在NMS和光线路终端（OLT）之间。 另一方面，实施例使得电话公司操作者能够使用具有次要OLT和OAM（操作，管理和维护）协议修改的标准EPON（以太网无源光网络）OLT NMS来管理相同的混合网络。
