Mike, Thread, compatibility issues should be minimized if adherence to NGDLC standards (GR 303) are met. Although, these do not at the present time take into account all of the emerging forms of traffic that can be sent in all their permutations. But the basics physical layer and many of the Layer 2 rudiments are covered within precribed parameters.

Also, the ONU philosophy tracks back to the Passive Optical Network (PON) designs, and prior, as they have been incorporated in the Full Service Area Network (FSAN) architectures which were defined by Bellcore some three years ago, or thereabouts. These have been discussed here, on various occasions in this thread, over the past two or three years.

There are some excellent articles complete with drawings at the Telephony Mag site at internettelephony.com

Do a search in the archives for either FSAN and/or PON. Despite some of these articles being two years or more on the books, they are still highly relevant. In telco terms, two calendar years represents short term tactical planning. Only telling it like it is.

One such article that stands out can be found at:
