Abstract: Provided are an authentication method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The method includes, if an optical line terminal operates in at least two bands, setting at least one low-delay band and at least one non-low-delay band; after receiving, in a non-low-delay band, a first serial number sent by an optical network unit (ONU) or an auxiliary authentication device, acquiring an equalization delay; after receiving, in the non-low-delay band, an authentication request sent by the ONU or the auxiliary authentication device, determining an ONU identifier according to the first serial number or a second serial number of the ONU in a low-delay band, where the second serial number is sent by the ONU in the non-low-delay band; and authenticating the ONU according to the ONU identifier and the equalization delay.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling power consumption of an ONU, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: monitoring a current state of the ONU in real time, wherein the state at least includes a deep energy saving state, and data flow of the ONU in the deep energy saving state is lower than a preset threshold; and performing message processing on received data through a CPU channel and performing a power-off operation on a hardware module in an acceleration channel of the ONU when the ONU is currently in the deep energy saving state; wherein the acceleration channel is connected to a data ingress of the ONU, and the hardware module in the acceleration channel is configured to perform message processing on the received data of the ONU.

Abstract: A method for multi-rate data interaction in an optical network, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed. The method may include: acquiring a rate capability supported by an ONU; and interacting service data via a channel corresponding to the rate according to the rate capability supported by the ONU.
