Plug-in service units
The modular ONT provides a maximum of three plug-in service units. Each service
unit contains a motherboard that provides local switching, control, and management
functions. The service unit also contains the voice and data/video subsystems.
Figure 6-6 shows the function blocks of the service unit.

Functions Descriptions
Integrated security engine The integrated security engine supports DES, 3DES, MD-5, SHA-1,
AES, and ARC-4 encryption algorithms, as well as a public key
accelerator and an on-chip random number generator. The security
engine is capable of single-pass encryption and authentication, as
required by IPsec, IEEE 802.11i standard, and other security
protocols.
Dynamic host configuration
protocol (DHCP)
The DHCP function allows the modular ONT subsystems to obtain
their configurations, such as IP addresses, when they start up.
IGMP snooping The IGMP snooping function monitors IGMP message flows to maintain
a local multicast filter and forwarding database.
Voice over IP (VoIP) This is a derived VoIP service that supports interoperability with G6
voice gateway or a softswitch.
Very-high-bit-rate digital
subscriber line (VDSL2)
management
The OBC supports the VDSL2 management function.
Ping and trace route The OBC supports the ping and trace route function.
802.1x authentication The OBC supports 802.1x authentication.
