2024-04-19 Thread Jason Kuehl
My company has many issues with Xfinity users using global protection on
the Xfinity network, not Comcast.

Does anyone have a contact email list or phone number I can use to reach a
real person or engineer who is not in support?

Thanks
Jason.

Most of the white boxes are same, in mpov, with small variations.  And
that is the whole idea.

I would choose the NOS you want first.  There are several, but few I would
want in production.  If it is a PoS or unmanageable, it does not matter
what the h/w capabilities are.  Was it created by seasoned engineers in
Internet-scale routing?  And, because each box will require some software
specific to it, though limited in scope, the NOS will dictate which boxes
are available to choose among.

Beyond the hardware capabilities, also consider with whom your NOS mfg
has the best working relationship.  That will dictate their ability to
quickly resolve h/w-specific issues in their s/w or even answer
h/w-specific questions for you.

Also consider what the h/w maintenance program is globally.  Is it
important for you to have 4hr replacements in Hong Kong?  That will
affect your decision greatly.

~1.5yr ago, it seemed like everyone was moving toward UfiSpace h/w,
away from EdgeCore.

Ask others about the reliability of the specific h/w you are considering.

Of course there are limits to this, as FEC is hop-by-hop, so in
long-haul you'll know about circuit quality to the transponder, not
end-to-end. Unlike in wan-phy, OTN where you know both.

Technically optical transport could induce FEC errors, if there are
FEC errors on any hop, so consumers of optical networks need not have
access to optical networks to know if it's end-to-end clean. Much like
cut-through switching can induce errors via some symbols to
communicate the CRC errors happened earlier, so the receiver doesn't
have to worry about problems on their end.

It's very very good, because now you actually know before putting the
circuit in production, if the circuit works or not.

Lot of people have processes to ping from router-to-router for N time,
trying to determine circuit correctness before putting traffic on it,
which looks absolutely childish compared to FEC, both in terms of how
reliable the presumed outcome is and how long it takes to get to that
presumed outcome.


FEC is amazing.

At higher data rates (100G and 400G) for long and ultra long haul 
optical networks, SD-FEC (Soft Decision FEC) carries a higher overhead 
penalty compared to HD-FEC (Hard Decision FEC), but the net OSNR gain 
more than compensates for that, and makes it worth it to increase 
transmission distance without compromising throughput.

The frames in FEC are idle frames between actual ethernet frames. So
you recall right, without FEC, you won't see this idle traffic.

It's very very good, because now you actually know before putting the
