The standard was born with B-PON, then modified with G-PON and separated with XGS-PON. OMCI supports interoperability, yet it allows for optional components and future extensions. A protocol-independent MIB (Management Information Base) describes the exchange of information across OMCI [^G_988] and [^G_984_4]. This protocol is defined in terms of MEs. MEs are abstract representations of resources and services in an ONU. Only a small subset of the list of MEs is mandatory. -The existence of other MEs depends on the architecture and feature set supported by the vendor [^G_988] and [^G_984_4]. Major ISPs and vendors have created their own extensions for MIBs [^att_open_omci], [^verizon_open_omci]. +The existence of other MEs depends on the architecture and feature set supported by the vendor's [^G_988] and [^G_984_4].

Clause 8.2 of [^G_988] and [^G_984_4] shows the relationship graphs between the various MEs. Clause 9 of [^G_988] and [^G_984_4] describes how the various MEs are created. There are formally 2 modes: a managed entity which is auto-instantiated by the ONT or a managed entity which is instantiated on explicit request by the OLT. -In each of the 2 cases the various MEs can be: (R), (W). Only for ME auto-instantiated by the ONT there is also (R, W) while only for ME auto-instantiated by the OLT there are also (R, Set-by-create), (W, Set-by-create), or (R, W, Set-by-create). +In each of the 2 cases the various MEs can be: (R), (W).
