***** SPONSOR BALLOT INVITATION *****
You have indicated an interest in balloting IEEE Standards documents.

IMPORTANT! To participate, you must have access to myProject through an IEEE Web Account.

If you would like to participate in IEEE Standards Sponsor Ballot
P1904.1
Title: Standard for Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (SIEPON)
you must enroll as a member of the ballot group by 31-Aug-2016, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

***** IEEE STANDARD DOCUMENT INFORMATION *****
The IEEE Communications Society Society/Standard for Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (SIEPON) invites you to participate in the Revision Sponsor Ballot for:
P1904.1
Title: Standard for Service Interoperability in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (SIEPON)
Scope: This standard describes the system-level requirements needed to provide service-level, multi-vendor interoperability of Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) equipment. The specifications complement the existing IEEE 802.3(TM)  and IEEE 802.1(TM) standards, which enable the interoperability at the Physical
Layer and Data Link Layer.1 Specifically included in this specification are

- EPON system-level interoperability specifications covering equipment functionality, traffic engineering, and service-level quality of service/class of service (QoS/CoS) mechanisms;
- Management specifications covering equipment management, service management, and power utilization.

Purpose: The purpose of this standard is to build upon the IEEE 802.3ah (1G-EPON) and IEEE 802.3av (10GEPON) Physical Layer and Data Link Layer standards and create a system-level and network-level standard, thus allowing full "plug-and-play" interoperability of the transport, service, and control planes in a multi-vendor environment.
