Re: Passive Optical Network (PON)
I think it's really depends on your use case. If you know your TOR switches are doing 1-2 gigs at all times PON would be quite expensive to keep up with this type of usage. If your talking distribution/access out to cameras ect it would work. We run gpon across our entire access network 99% of the time it's fine once in awhile you'll get that one user that is killing the pon port and will move them to an active ethernet port. Now when NG-PON2 starts to hit the market, now you're talking about something that could be used in the data center with it's capabilities to do 4X 10G PON bonding. Note this is not going to be cheap but doable.

Re: Outdoor ADSL2+/VDSL/G.Fast NIU
The calix 844g is not an outdoor rated unit just a heads up. Typically now xdsl modems have integrated router and wireless which brings them into indoor rated type of equipment.

Mike, the op, said he has a 1002 which has an RP1 configured with 4GB of RAM. First, this is not a 1001. Second, SSO is off by default and is unlikely to be configured on an ASR1002 (the op certainly never stated he had enabled it). I just checked a few ASR 1k RP1s I have access to and the 3.10 IOS image has similar memory usage to the 3.13 (the latest MD release for this platform). On the RP1 platform, with a default only BGP feed, the systems have ~ 1.3GB of proc mem available. With a single full IP4 BGP feed, the free proc mem goes down to ~850MB. With two full feeds, the proc mem goes down to ~ 800MB. RP memory goes from ~1.8GB used (default only), ~2.7GB used (1x full), ~2.8GB used (2x full). This still leaves over 1GB of free RP memory with two full BGP feeds. The amount of FIB is dependent on the ESP installed by the OP; Mike hasn't yet stated what ESP he has installed. So yes, the 1002 can, and will continue to, work with two full BGP feeds when fitted with an ESP10.

This is still cheaper than GPON. The idea is that the ONU has a cheap standard 1G transmitter. Apparently you can make a 10G receiver very cheap, it is the transmitter that is expensive. So it is 10G downstream and 1G upstream. With the option to deliver 10G upstream per ONU. It is about reusing standard ethernet components that are dirt cheap - you can buy ethernet SFP modules for peanuts after all and 10G SFP+ modules are not that expensive either. However when we asked some vendors about this, nobody wanted to sell to us because Europe (and USA I assume) is GPON while China is GEPON. They did offer to sell us GPON at 10GEPON pricing instead... Something fishy is going on. It is not about EC compliance as it is just a matter of buying a 10GEPON card instead of GPON card to the same chassis switch. Maybe patents?

The construction side of things can get fairly costly getting the plant to the point where you could just use opti taps. I¹m not going to say this is everywhere but with new wind loading regulations for poles and some cities trying to use our construction as a way to pay for there streets to get fixed, yes we have been asked to install wheel chair accessible sidewalks and re pave an entire block when we wanted to bore 100 ft on a block that spanned 1000ft and 4 lanes wide. That killed that deal. We have also had the pleasure of working with cities and counties that work with us to get the permits approved which has always been a nice treat.

(for instance, an area where the copper was removed, leaving only fibre to homes, do CLECs retain competitive access via fibre to homes, or is it going out of business or going with pure SIP/VoIP over the regular internet connection, instead of using the quality voice link in the GPON with garanteed bandwidth ? Can this protocol support the programming of one OLT/MG connecting to the Telco's MGC, while the OLT/MG next door connects to the CLEC's MGC ? Or does the protocol result in MG's discovering the nearest MGC and connecting to it (making it hard to have multiple MGCs from competing telcos). I have been lead to believe that most OLTs came with a SIP based ATA. It appears that H.248 is more telco friendly and scales better. Does this mean that H.248 is more widely deployed in FTTH ?

I would agree here cross connects. We pay 15x more in cross connects per month then we do in just the space/power. We actually pulled out of a colo once our contract came to terms with one of the large colo providers because of the extortion cross connect fees. It's an issue when a cross connect within the same room cost more then the loop going 100 miles away. I sometimes question if the colo providers even understand our industry.

Yes, we are trying to determine where/how we receive it ... not necessarily influence it, as there isn't so much we can do there as Netflix' egress policy is theirs and theirs alone (interestingly, nobody has communities to influence Netflix' AS2906 traffic). We cannot peer directly with Netflix as their openconnect statement requires 2gbps minimum, and mentions elsewhere that the like 5+. We aren't at 2gbps yet, and we are nowhere near one of their POPs -- it is way cheaper to buy 2-3gbps of cheap transit than it is to buy 2-3gbps of transport from Denver to LA.

You are trying to engineer where their traffic comes and yet you refuse to have a direct connection which would give you full control? Weird... I tested this by advertising a /24 across all providers, then selectively removed the advertisement to certain carriers to see where the bandwidth goes. In order, it appears that if there is a HE route, Netflix uses it, period. If there isn't, it prefers Level3, and Cogent comes last. Completely unsurprising. Since Netflix is a big hunk of our bandwidth (and obviously makes our customers happy), we are included to buy some more HE. However, if Netflix decides that they want to randomly switch to, say, Cogent, we may be under a year-long bandwidth contract that isn't particularly valuable anymore. With all of that, I am interested in finding out of any knowledge about Netflix transit preferences, be it inside information, anecdotal, or otherwise. I did email peering@ but haven't heard back, thus the public question. Why don't you ask Netflix? And why not ask them for kit to put on-net? https://signup.netflix.com/openconnect -- TTFN, patrick
Re: Fiber terminations -- UPC vs APC
+1 here on going all APC on the panels, note we run a gpon network so making that choice was fairly easy for us.

Traditionally we have done all of our fiber plant targeting data usage with UPC connectors. We are also looking at proposals for fiber distribution plant for video, and the possibility of using some of the existing fiber plant for that purpose; as well as any new fiber plant that gets installed for video potentially as data. The video folks are set, determined, and insistent that they need APC terminations. APC is pretty much the standard for high-power video distribution, and for very good reasons. The return loss is much better for APC than for UPC, for instance, and that can be very significant depending upon the equipment being used to drive. Much video distribution gear, including passive splitters and EDFA's, are only available with APC connectors. Mating an APC to a UPC will result in an 'air-gap attenuator' being created, and that may be a problem. A significant problem for some gear, in fact. Really high-power long-haul gear may need APC as well, even for networking stuff. Your choice boils down to parallel plants or only APC with UPC jumpers for non-APC equipment. You really really don't want to have any UPC connectors in a really high-power path that needs APC all the way; I have actually seen some warranty statements, for some older equipment, primarily EDFA modules, that indicate that the warranty would be voided if any non-APC connectors were in the path anywhere. The reflections from a UPC end can detune some of these lasers, and can, in theory at least, cause permanent transmitter damage that won't be under warranty. You could, though, provision half APC and half UPC, since the color coding is pretty clear. You can even use, say, all LC on your UPC patches and all SC on you APC patches or similar, and get both with little danger of intermating. I think I'd personally rather just provision all APC in the backbone fiber runs and install APC to UPC distribution runs to your network gear. But you'll have to train people to always plug green connectors into green connectors, and blue into blue, and never should green and blue mix. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

I do expect that with the iMessage stuff that was released yesterday (SMS/MMSoIP to email/phone#) many more companies will shift to using that instead as the value of BBM is decreased. With iMessage, Apple is following the lead of multi-platform apps such as Viber (integrated voice over ip) and whatsapp (integrated rich texting over ip). Integrated meaning the unique name/key registered in the system's name lookup service is your phone number, so you automagically discover who of all your address book entries have the application. Turning on whatsapp on my 360 contact address book yielded me 10% of my contact list *online* using it. :) Not being multi-vendor/platform, I wonder if iMessage on iPhone is going to reach similar uptake. Being installed from start certainly helps though, but not piggy backing on the phone numbers is a clear strategic error in my opinion (apple IDs are obviously a long long way from being as universal as phone numbers). I tried out whatsapp yesterday on an old Symbian S60 Nokia (N97) and it works great. Only thing I regret is not trying it out sooner. Now, if mobile devices only had ... globally unique and *reachable* IP addresses, you could even envision sending messages/pictures/video directly from your own device to a peer, with no need for bouncing through overloaded centralized bottlenecks, such as is the case with whatsapp (and certainly iMessage as well). There's certainly a business case in there for a legacy-free, bandwidth-optimized, IP only, LTE-network... (read: no [stupid] tunnels) I also wonder what the impact of iMessage and others will be on places like hotel networks as the devices camp out longer/more often on the wifi, etc. We observed the impact to a hotel of the NANOG crowd this week (i wonder if there will be lessons learned on the part of lodgenet, etc?) I know personally I've observed the attwifi ssid expanding to more places (including hilton branded properties) in the past 6 months to offload cellular data. Offloading is wise, indeed.

It would be stupid to plan on making a profit on your GSR over 30 years, after 10 it will be functionally obsolete. When it comes to equipment the idea of 1-3 year ROI's makes sense. However, when it comes to fiber or copper in the ground or on a pole it has a 20, 30, 40, or even 50 year life span. To require those assets to have a 1-3 year ROI is absurd. What happens if we have improvements in data transmission systems such that whatever we put in now is obsolete in 15 years? What happens if we put in billions of dollars of fiber, only to have fiber (and copper) obsolete as we roll out faster and faster wireless solutions? IMHO the biggest obstacle to defining broadband is figuring out how to describe how it is used in a way that prevents an ILEC from installing it so that only the ILEC can use it. If the customer doesn't have at least 3 broadband choices, there's no real choice, and pricing will be artificially high and service options will be stagnant and few. Look at what happened to long distance rates and telephone services once Ma Bell was broken up and businesses started competing for customers. I remember when we paid more than $35 a month for long distance fees alone (and about that much more for our basic service, including phone rental) when I was a teenager in the 1970s. Without competition, with inflation, that same long distance bill would easily be over $100/month today. Yest today, more than 30 years later you can get a cell phone with unlimited minutes, unlimited domestic long distance, for $35/month (e.g Metro PCS). Let's not make this mistake again and let the ILECs use TARP funds to build broadband to the curb/home that only they get to use to provide internet services to the customers. jc

True, but a 66 block will work. Usually. And is easily re-punched. If someone cannot deal with wire wrapping, they are not living in a telecom world. Really. Seriously, who cannot do wire wrap? It takes, literally, 5 minutes to learn to do it. And that's with a screw driver wirewrap tool. With one of these [http://www.datacomtools.com/catalog/Wire-Wrap-tools/jonard-wire-wrap-gu n.htm], it takes about 10s, and you get a consistent, near perfect wrap every time. (yes, it's a bit pricey, but very worth the cost even if you only use it once to wire a single panel.) --Ricky PS: That's just the gun; it'll need a tip/sleeve. I recommend a complete kit.

RE: Fiber cut in SF area
I know as far as att/sbc/pacbell a lot of the time they run the ring within the same conduit to at least have hardware protection on the circuit I'm sure it's the same with other providers. -carlos -Original Message- From: Roy [mailto:r.engehau...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 6:02 PM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Fiber cut in SF area Sean Donelan wrote: Uh, not exactly. There was diversity in this case, but there was also N+1 breaks. Outside of a few counties in the Bay Area, the rest of the country's telecommunication system was unaffected. So in that sense the system worked as designed. About eight or ten years ago I went to PacBell (or whatever it was called at the time) and requested that two large facilities get a sonet ring between them. I was told I couldn't have it because they were both fed through a single set of conduits and one backhoe could cut both sides of the ring. It wouldn't be diverse so they wouldn't provison it unless I paid for the digging of new paths. So much for their theory of diverse. Sounds like the rules are different for them. There are one thing to also point out. That train track next to the manholes in South San Jose is the major line between the Bay Area and Southern CA. There are at least three or four fiber paths for different companies buried along those tracks. There are also connections from Gilroy to the Hollister/San Juan Bautista area and thence to Salinas. It would have been very simple for the telcos to provision a backup path southward.

It might take 2 hands if it hasn't been opened recently and has lots of pebbles and dirt jammed in around it. It's like everything else: if you know how to do it, and you have the right tool, it's simple. And, yes, you can get lockable manhole covers. They aren't cheap. McGuard make a popular one.
