Couple different versions: 1) Layer 1 only: Fiber from each house to a neighborhood node. Similar to all those strange verizon buildings throughout the city except smaller. Provider can build/buy transport into the node and rent rack space/power. When a sub signs up, they lease the strand to the sub.
2) Layer2: Generally a GPON system where each provider gets their own profiles etc. Sometimes include own routing instance as well so all a provider has to do is bring their bandwidth to the main data center and connect their subs. Danville VA has a pretty good example. https://aem-dev.calix.com/solutions/open-access.html On Wed, Dec 19, 2018 at 10:59 AM Christopher Gray < cg...@graytechsoftware.com> wrote: > What you picture an "open" residential fiber network looks like?
