We do not have a concept of CMCI in 1904.1/4 so it would be at best odd

Hi Marek, it might be worthwhile to show the CMCI interfaces East of the eSAFE devices.

Hi Marek,
Can you explain this model more? It is confusing because the MAC client per 1904.4 architecture is exactly an embedded managed Ethernet switch.
The above picture is a more-detailed version of this DPoE picture
I think what you said below is that one of service ports (or SF in DPoE picture) on the user side of 802.1 switch will be connected to another embedded switch. What would be achieved by connecting the two switches in serial? What cannot be done with one switch that can be done with two switches?
Thanks,
Glen

The only thing that comes to mind (and I hate to throw it in) is the case of a service port connecting to an embedded Ethernet switch. In this case, a single service port would be “split” into multiple UNI ports. The question on how to address individual UNIs is a separate challenge, since from the ONU perspective, they all look like a single service port. However, this is precisely what drove the addition of aPhyType attribute to address the case of a single service port terminating on a 1:2 Ethernet switch, where one UNI port is implemented as a pluggable cage and another UNI port as a standard RJ45 jack.
If we want to support such a scenario, we also need to consider if we want to be able to address individual UNI ports behind such an embedded Ethernet switch or not. It seems like a bit of a stretch for our scope of work, but on the other hand it is still part of an ONU 😊

Subject: Service port types
Picking up the discussion from the last meeting on service port types.
These are the types currently defined in DPoE and SIEPON:
Q1: We decided to add another type for UNI_port. Also Ryan mentioned we need to add another type. What was this type?
Q2: Besides UNI ports, are there any service port types (i.e., eSAFE entities) that may exist as multiple instances in an ONU?
For example, can there be more than one eMTA or eDVA per ONU/CM?
Thanks,
Glen
