10G-EPON
COMPUTER NETWORKING STANDARD
GEPON; 802.3av; IEEE P802.3av; G-epon; G-EPON; 10G Passive Optical Network
The 10 Gbit/s Ethernet Passive Optical Network standard, better known as 10G-EPON allows computer network connections over telecommunication provider infrastructure. The standard supports two configurations: symmetric, operating at 10 Gbit/s data rate in both directions, and asymmetric, operating at 10 Gbit/s in the downstream (provider to customer) direction and 1 Gbit/s in the upstream direction.
