Ralph, for clarification ... is there more than the one IP disclosure at
http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1734/ ?
The term "disclosures" lead me to believe there may be more than one
Good catch. Typo on my part. There is just the one disclosure.

Abstract
The purpose of this document is to provide applicability of the
Access Node Control mechanism to PON-based broadband access. The
need for an Access Node Control mechanism between a Network
Access Server (NAS) and an Access Node Complex (a combination of
Optical Line Termination (OLT) and Optical Network Termination
(ONT) elements) is described in a multi-service reference
architecture in order to perform QoS-related, service-related and
Subscriber-related operations. The Access Node Control mechanism
is also extended for interaction between components of the Access
Node Complex (OLT and ONT). The Access Node Control mechanism
will ensure that the transmission of information between the NAS
and Access Node Complex (ANX) and between the OLT and ONT within
an ANX does not need to go through distinct element managers but
rather uses a direct device-to-device communication and stays on
net. This allows for performing access link related operations
within those network elements to meet performance objectives.
