FiberGateway User Manual 2.13 Policing/Rate Limiting 2.13.1 Downstream QoS The OLT system supports traffic classification at the ingress ports (ETH, LAGs, PON, etc) based on P- Bits, IP DSCP and IP. The OLT system provides several QoS mechanisms, that can be targeted to the flow characterized by one or two VLAN according with the type of service, or can be targeted to the packets priority, where each p-bit/DSCP is mapped in one of eight queues of each port.
FiberGateway User Manual 2.13.2 Upstream QoS Figure 11: Upstream QoS diagram In the upstream, Figure 11, for each T-CONT DBA the ingress traffic in the ONT passes by a mapping block that maps the traffic in one of the eight queues according with the p-bit, (in case the ingress traffic is untagged a DSCP->p-bit mapping is performed).

FiberGateway User Manual Figure 13: Wavelength planning In order to accomplish to that plan, the upstream wavelength for GPON must be restricted to ONU (ONT) equipment based on the ordinary DFB lasers, while the XGPON downstream signal range is defined from 1575 nm to 1580 nm and the XGPON upstream signal from 1260 nm to 1280 nm. For the coexistence of XGPON and GPON over the same fiber, the CO requires a WDM filter that combines the downstream signal (1490 nm, 1555 nm and 1577 nm), isolating the 1310 nm and 1270 nm upstream signal, with the video signal.
