'''Interleaved Polling with Adaptive Cycle Time''' (IPACT) is an [[algorithm]] designed by Glen Kramer, Biswanath Mukherjee and Gerry Pesavento

Line 6:

IPACT uses the Gate and Report messages provided by the EPON Multi-Point Control Protocol (MPCP) to allocate [[Bandwidth (signal processing)|bandwidth]] to Optical Network Units (ONUs). If the [[optical line terminal]] grants bandwidth to an ONU and waits until it has received that particular ONU's transmission before granting bandwidth to another ONU, then time equivalent to a whole messaging round-trip is wasted during which the upstream may remain idle. IPACT eliminates this idle time by sending [[downstream (computer science)|downstream]] grant messages to succeeding ONUs while receiving [[transmission (telecommunications)|transmission]]s from previously granted ONUs. It accomplishes this by calculating the time at which a transmission grant allocated to a previous ONU ends.
