A method for operating a delivery instance for an access network of a telecommunications network is provided. The delivery instance is connected to a management entity, where the delivery instance and the management entity include a control functionality, a management functionality, a transport functionality, and an edge functionality. The delivery instance includes an access functionality realized by a plurality of access nodes that terminate physical subscriber lines serving end users of the telecommunications network. The delivery instance is operated using a hardware host. The management entity and the hardware host exchange configuration and setup information to bring the delivery instance into operation on the hardware host. The management entity manages the operation of the delivery instance running on the hardware host, the delivery instance operatively realizes access functionality regarding the end users of the telecommunications network using the plurality of access nodes and the physical subscriber lines thereof.

Method for operating a central office point of delivery instance for a broadband access network of a telecommunications network

A method for operation of a broadband access network of a telecommunications network includes: in a first step, a first access functionality primarily associated with a first central office point of delivery is also connected to a second central office point of delivery, and a second access functionality primarily associated with the second central office point of delivery is also connected to the first central office point of delivery; and in a second step, the cluster controller and both a first control functionality or control plane of the first central office point of delivery and a second control functionality or control plane of the second central office point of delivery control whether the first and second access functionalities are served by the first central office point of delivery or second central office point of delivery.

Operation of a broadband access network of a telecommunications network comprising a plurality of central office points of delivery

A method for operation of a central office point of delivery includes: in response to a pluggable interface module being plugged into an access node port of a line termination node of the central office point of delivery, transmitting, by the line termination node, a request message to a control node of the central office point of delivery, wherein the request message comprises interface module information related to the pluggable interface module, and wherein an activation clearance is requested, via the request message, from the control node; receiving, by the line termination node, from the control node, an acknowledgement message related to the activation clearance requested by the request message, wherein the acknowledgement message corresponds to a verification operation and/or activation clearance operation having been successful; and activating, by the line termination node and/or by the access port node, the pluggable interface module.

Simplified operation of a central office point of delivery and/or for improved port discovery, verification and/or auto-configuration within a broadband access network of a telecommunications network
