    Abstract: One embodiment provides a media access control (MAC) module facilitating operations of an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON). The MAC module includes a frame formatter configured to generate a MAC control frame. The generated MAC control frame includes at least one of: an organizationally unique identifier (OUI) field, an QUI-specific operation code (opcode) field, and a number of fields associated with the QUI-specific opcode. Transmission of the MAC control frame facilitates realization of an EPON function based on the fields associated with the QUI-specific opcode.

    Abstract translation: 一个实施例提供了便于以太网无源光网络(EPON)的操作的媒体访问控制(MAC)模块。 MAC模块包括配置成生成MAC控制帧的帧格式化器。 生成的MAC控制帧包括以下中的至少一个:组织唯一标识符(OUI)字段,QUI特定操作码(opcode)字段以及与QUI特定操作码相关联的字段数。 基于与QUI特定操作码相关联的字段,MAC控制帧的传输有助于实现EPON功能。
