ONU, communication system and communication method for ONU

1. An Optical Network Unit (ONU), comprising: a processing module and at least two user interface modules, wherein

the processing module is configured to process user side data from the user interface modules and send a network side data to the user interface modules; and

the user interface modules are configured to send the user side data to the processing module and receive the network side data from the processing module,

wherein the processing module comprises at least two ONU sub-modules which corresponds to the user interface modules, respectively, in a one-to-one manner,

wherein each of the ONU sub-modules comprises an ONU process processing unit, an ONU routing unit and one or more first bridge units, wherein

the first bridge unit is configured to store port information of the ONU sub-module and send the user side data to the ONU process processing unit via the ONU routing unit;

the ONU routing unit is configured to set up a routing table; and

the ONU process processing unit is configured to process received user side data,

wherein the one or more first bridge units are isolated from each other.

2. The ONU according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two ONU sub-modules of the processing module are independent from each other.

3. The ONU according to claim 1 , wherein the processing module comprises:

a second bridge unit, connected to the first bridge unit of each of the ONU sub-modules, and configured to perform a port translation on the user side data and send translated data to a corresponding first bridge unit and receive the network side data from the first bridge unit and send received network side data to a corresponding user interface module.

4. The ONU according to claim 1 , wherein each of the ONU sub-modules further comprises:

a logic database, connected to the ONU process processing unit and configured to store data from the corresponding ONU sub-module, wherein the logic databases of the ONU sub-modules are isolated from each other.

5. The ONU according to claim 1 , wherein each of the ONU sub-modules corresponds to an IP address; and

the ONU routing unit comprises an IP address corresponding to the ONU sub-module in a routing table set for the ONU sub-module to which the ONU routing unit belongs.

6. The ONU according to claim 5 , wherein the ONU has a shared IP address which is used by each of the ONU sub-modules to send data to the network side.

7. The ONU according to claim 1 , further comprising: an optical module, a passive optical network medium access control module and a switch module, wherein

the optical module is connected to the passive optical network medium access control module which is connected with the processing module, and each of the user interface modules is connected to a corresponding ONU sub-module via the switch module; and

the optical module is configured to convert the received network side data and send the converted network side data to the processing module via the passive optical network medium access control module.

8. The ONU according to claim 1 , wherein each of the user interface modules consists of a user interface circuit.

9. A communication system, comprising: an optical line terminal and an ONU, wherein the ONU is the ONU according to claim 1 , and the optical line terminal is communicatively connected to the ONU.

10. The communication system according to claim 9 , further comprising: an integrated terminal management system communicatively connected to the ONU.

11. A communication method for an ONU, comprising:

receiving, by an user interface module of the ONU, data from a user side and sending the data to a corresponding one of at least two ONU sub-modules included in a processing module of the ONU; and

processing, by the ONU sub-module, the user side data from a corresponding user interface module,

wherein each of the ONU sub-modules comprises an ONU process processing unit, an ONU routing unit and one or more first bridge units, wherein

the first bridge unit is configured to store port information of the ONU sub-module and send the user side data to the ONU process processing unit via the ONU routing unit;

the ONU routing unit is configured to set up a routing table; and

the ONU process processing unit is configured to process received user side data,

wherein the one or more first bridge units are isolated from each other.

12. The communication method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, by the ONU sub-module, data from a network side and sending the received data to a corresponding user interface module.
