摘要: In general, techniques are described for inline packet replication in network devices. A device referred to as an optical line terminal (OLT) may implement the techniques. The OLT comprises a customer interface that supports different logical interfaces which couple plurality of terminals (ONTs) and receives data unit. further conversion unit, such media access control (MAC) module, located path determines whether received unit is candidate replication. includes processing module performs generate at least one copy based on determination outputs ONTs.
