Explanation
TCONT 0 is reserved exclusively for OMCI (ONT Management and Control Interface) traffic, which is the standardized protocol used by the OLT to remotely manage, configure, and provision the ONT. This is defined in the ITU-T G.984 GPON standard, which designates TCONT 0 as the management channel, not a user-data bearer. IPTV, VoIP, and Internet are all subscriber-facing data services that are carried on other T-CONTs (typically T-CONT 1 through 4), each mapped to GEM ports and assigned bandwidth based on service class. A simple memory tip: think of TCONT 0 as "zero for operations" - it handles zero user traffic and is purely for network operations and management communication between the OLT and ONT.
