802.3ah, one REPORT frame can contain several requests. For instance, as shown
in Fig. 5.12, an ONU can transmit request volume #1 in the 1st queue set and
request volume #2 in the 2nd queue set.
Since the algorithm described in Sect. 5.2.6.1 requires that the requested
volume be always allocated in the next allocation, the reset condition for the
deficit counter is quite simple. However, when several requests are transmitted, it
cannot be determined if it is fine to reset the deficit counter until an allocation is
actually made. For this reason, the reset condition of the deficit counter is
slightly more complex than the algorithm described in Sect. ...
