Overview Ethernet for subscriber access networks, also referred to as Ethernet in the First Mile, or EFM, combines a minimal set of extensions to the IEEE 0. Media Access Control () and Control sublayers with a family of Physical Layers. These Physical Layers include optical fiber and voice grade copper cable Physical Medium Dependent sublayers (PMDs) for point to point (PP) connections in subscriber access networks. EFM also introduces the concept of Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPONs), in which a point to multipoint (PMP) network topology is implemented with passive optical splitters, along with extensions to the Control sublayer and Reconciliation sublayer as well as optical fiber PMDs to support this topology. In addition, a mechanism for network Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) is included to facilitate network operation and troubleshooting. 0BASE LX extends the reach of 0BASE X to achieve km over conventional single mode two fiber cabling. The relationships between these EFM elements and the ISO/IEC Open System Interconnection () reference model are shown in Figure for PP topologies, Figure for symmetric, Gb/s EPON, Figure for symmetric G EPON and Figure for asymmetric G EPON topologies. SICAL MII Cu PCS Cu TC PMA PMD MEDIUM BASE TL PASS TS An important characteristic of EFM is that only full duplex links are supported. A simplified full duplex is defined in Annex A for use in EFM networks. PMP applications must use this simplified full duplex. EFM Copper applications may use either this simplified full duplex or the Clause operating in half duplex mode as described in... All other EFM PP applications may use either this simplified full duplex or the Clause operating in full duplex mode. EFM architecture is further extended in @@Clause @@ and @@Clause @@ by the addition of G EPON.
