Which of the following is Ethernet PON?

Ethernet PON is the PON standard that carries Ethernet traffic natively, using Ethernet frames end-to-end. EPON (Ethernet PON) is defined by IEEE 802.3 and maps Ethernet frames directly over the optical link between the OLT and ONUs, making it the straightforward Ethernet-based PON option. BPON is ATM-based, and GPON is a ITU-T standard that uses GEM encapsulation to multiplex services (including Ethernet) but is not labeled as Ethernet PON. 10G-PON refers to higher-speed evolutions of PON (such as 10G-EPON or XG-PON), but the specific Ethernet PON designation is EPON.
