and residential gateway are converging to a consensus.
Some
recent public deliverables
"Specification
of an advanced, flexible, multi-service residential gateway" (ref.
DTF3.3)
It addressess an advanced multi-play residential gateway for use in an IP based
managed network. It pays special attention to the support of FMC (Fixed Mobile
Convergence) use cases like co-located hotspot. A block diagram of the RGW is
described. Basic user types are defined in an FMC environment, and the
functionality for giving them access and appropriate QoS are specified. Specific
functions needed for the RGW in an IMS environment are described.
"Resilience
aspects in XL-PONs" (ref. DE2.6)
