A method of staggering the arrival of frames of data at a head end in a communication system. The method includes receiving at a first service unit upstream telephony data is described. The telephony data includes a first payload message. The method includes receiving at a second service unit upstream telephony data, wherein the telephony data includes a second payload message. The method further includes formatting the first payload message at the first service unit as a first sequence of frames and formatting the second payload message at the second service unit as a second sequence of frames. In addition, the method includes transmitting the first sequence of frames on a first carrier so as to arrive at the head end at a first time and transmitting the second sequence of frames on a second carrier so as to arrive at the head end at a second time.

This disclosure describes ONT-based management of micronodes in an RFOG network. A micronode is configured to permit remote management via an ONT in an optical network. An optical networking protocol, such as a PON protocol, may be used to exchange information with an ONT for management of the micronode. Management may include configuration and monitoring of the micronode. The micronode may have a management interface that supports remote configuration and monitoring via an ONT coupled to the management interface. An operator may use the ONT as a management terminal for the micronode. The ONT may permit an operator to effectively manage micronodes, and also may offer a ready upgrade path to provide optical networking services such as PON services to a subscriber when the operator is ready to upgrade its CO equipment and CPE.
