An arrangement for processing data traffic flowing through a network is provided. The arrangement includes a data interface for receiving the data traffic. The arrangement also includes an inspection engine for analyzing the data traffic, wherein the analyzing is performed on at least payload data. The arrangement further includes means for routing the data traffic through the network, wherein the means for routing is configured to define one or more ports for transmitting the data traffic. The means for routing the data traffic is dynamic to balance the data traffic across multiple outgoing ports.

Add-on module and methods thereof

To enhance the upstream data traffic management in an EPON, a scheme is employed to allocate transmission windows for upstream data transmitted from the subscribers' ONUs to an OLT. The queues of a logical link are grouped into queue containers, and the OLT allocates upstream transmission windows to the queue containers. Logical links assigns the upstream transmission window allocated to a queue container to the queues in the queue containers.
