Summary

This amendment provides additional (optional) features to ITU-T Rec. G.983.2 (2002).  It defines the method for providing transport and management of the Video Return Path function for systems that implement the G.983.1 and G.983.3 B-PON transport system and G.983.2 ONT Management and Control Interface (OMCI).  The Video Return Path function constitutes the support of certain elements described in SCTE 55-1 [x] and SCTE 55-2 [y], which allow the control of interactive video services through the use of set top boxes.
