 Oh, ghod; we're not gonna go here, again, are we?

That PON is more expensive than SS is the reality of an example
contained in a document provided by regulatory body (soumu sho)
of Japanese government.

http://www.soumu.go.jp/main_sosiki/joho_tsusin/policyreports/chousa/bb_seibi/pdf/041209_2_14.pdf.

Assume you have 4000 subscribers and total trunk cable length
is 51.1Km, which is the PON case with example and trunk cable
length will be identical regardless of whether you use PON
or SS.

The problem of PON is that, to efficiently share a fiber and
a splitter, they must be shared by many subscribers, which
means drop cables are longer than those of SS.

For example, if drop cables of PON are 10m longer in average than
that of SS, it's total length is 40km, which is *SIGNIFICANT*.

Just as the last miles matter, the last yards do matter.

 Yes, a PON physical build can be somewhat cheaper, because it multiplexes
 your trunk cabling from 1pr per circuit to as many as 16-32pr per circuit
 on the trunk, allowing you to spec smaller cables.

That is a negligible part of the cost. Cable cost is not very
sensitive to the number of fibers in a cable.

Correction. Though I wrote 4000, it is a population and the number
of subscribers are 1150.

 For example, if drop cables of PON are 10m longer in average than
 that of SS, it's total length is 40km, which is *SIGNIFICANT*.

Total drop cable length is still 11.5km and is *SIGNIFICANT*.

Note that when population density is lower, extra drop cable
length will be longer that 10m is now a very humble estimation.

As for equipment cost, for CO

PON 92000 KJPY/1150
SS 182000 KJPY/3100

and for CP

PON 33200 KJPY/1150
SS  84600 KJPY/3100

not so different but SS is a little more inexpensive.

Pardon my ignorance here, but could you explain why the cables would be
physically different in the last mile ?

It is my understanding that the last mile of a PON and a point to point
would be indentical with individual strands for each home passed, and
then a drop between the cable and each home that wishes to connect.

Why would this be different in a PON vs Point to Point system ?

Wher I see a difference is between the neighbourhood aggregation point
and the CO where the PON system will have just 1 strand for 32 homes
whereas point to point will have 1 strand per home passed. But the
lengths should be the same, shouldn't they ?

 By default, Telus in western Canada has deployed ethernet based DSL for

 based wth DHCP service.

 Some of the ISPs have chosen PPPoE since it makes it easier to do usage
 accounting at the router (since packets are already asscoated with the
 PPPoE session account).

 The difference is that Telus had purchased/developed software that made
 it easy to change the PVC to point a user to one ISP or the other, so
 changing ISPs is relatively painless. Bell Canada decided to abandon
 etyernet based DSL and go PPPoE because it didn't want to develop that
 software.

 Bell is deploying PPPoE for its FTTH (which is not *yet) available to
 wholesalers, something I am hoping to help change in the coming months)


 However, the australian NBN model is far superior because it enables far
 more flexibility such as multicasting etc. PPPoE is useless overhead if
 you have the right management tools to point a customer to his ISP. (and
 it also means that the wholesale infrastructure can be switch based
 intead of router based).

Read the documents and other related literature on that site a little
bit further: you can overcome those first couple of seconds by fetching
those 'quickly' using unicast. Yes, that does not make it a full
multicast solution, but the whole idea of multicast usage in these
scenarios: less traffic on the backbone. With this setup you only get
the hits for the first couple of seconds and after that they have it all
from multicast.

And one can of course employ strategies as used currently by for

that the user is likely going to zap to next, thus shaving off another

 Explain further. I did not get that.

Joel is saying that the problem you posit: *everyone* wanting to watch 
the same exact thing at the same exact time, only applies to live TV, and
these days, substantially the only thing that can pull anywhere *near* 
that kind of share is the Super Bowl, which happens to occur the first
Sunday in February.  Er, Febru-ANY.  :-)

 Isn't 20 Mbit/s more than 10 Mbit/s? (If so, we're taking about
 10 000 customers * 20 Mbit/s = 200 000 Mbit/s or 200 Gbit/s).

Sure; he was just picking a nit about your specification of the customer 
loops: those people aren't watching QHD anyway, so no sense in using it 
as an exemplar.

My understanding is there is no appreciable amount of QHD programming
available to watch anyway, and certainly nothing a) in English b) that
isn't sports.

  On the other hand, two weekends ago I bought skyrim on steam and it
  was delivered, all 5.5GB of it in about 20 minutes. That's not instant
  gratification but it's acceptable.
 
 About 40 - 50 Mbit/s. Not bad at all.
 
 Downloading software does not have to be in real-time, like watching
 a movie, does.

Real-time is not the constraint you're looking for.  To deliver watchable
video, the average end-to-end transport bit rate must merely be higher than
the program encoding bitrate, with some extra overhead for the lack of real
QoS and other traffic on the link; receiver buffers help with this.

The only time real-time per se matters is if you're playing the same
content on multiple screens and *synchronization* matters.

Where exactly do you put those transparent http proxy servers in

For that you do not need to do strange DNS-stealing hacks or

There is two thing that The Last Mile Cache does _not_ do;

Steal either the DNS nor the port 80 part.

(I have to give it to you that it is a DNS solution part involved in
TLMC as well as a reverse proxy server).

It's an solution which does not force either the CSP (Content Service
Provider) nor the ISP to participate in TLMC. It will tough, allow a
customer of an ISP (which has to participate in TLMC in the first
place) to have it's own cache server at their home. (And yes, the CSP
needs to participate as well for it to work).



Fortunately quite a few content providers are moving to HTTPS so that

If you want your content cached at various ISP:s around the world,
encrypt the content, not the session.

10Mb/s was your number not mine, my crystal ball is total garbage but I 
don't see delivery 20Mb/s streaming services as a dramatically different 
problem then delivering 6-8Mb/s streaming services is today.

On the other hand, two weekends ago I bought skyrim  on steam and it was

About 40 - 50 Mbit/s. Not bad at all.

In both cases it's actually rather convenient if it's as fast as 
possible, That movie  I bought 5 minutes ago from apple I might be 
streaming to my apple-tv (which has effectively negligible storage), or 
I might be dumping it on my ipad, in the later case the sooner it 
arrives the sooner that process is finished and I can unplug it. With 
the game download, with some exceptions like DLC's I can't start playing

You're positing a situation where a cache infrastructure at scale built 
close to the user has a sufficiently high hit rate for rather large 
objects to be more cost effective than increasing capacity  in the 
middle of the network as the bandwidth/price curve declines.  My early 
career as an http cache dude makes me a bit suspicious. I'm pretty 
confident that denser/cheaper/faster silicon is less expensive than 
deploying boxes of spinning disks closer to the customer(s) than they 
are today (netflix's cache for example isn't that close to the edge 
(would support 2-10k simultaneous customers for that one application per 
box), it aims to get inside the isp however) when you add 
power/cooling/space/lifecycle-maintenance (I'm a datacenter operator) if 
it wasn't the CDN's would have pushed even closer to the edge. Of course 
if you can limit consumer choice then you can push your hit rate to 100% 
but then you're running a VOD service in a walled garden and there are 
plenty of those already.


That said provide compelling numbers and I'll change my mind.

Subject: Re: The 100 Gbit/s problem in your network

 allow my customers as an ISP to cache the content at their home.

 Do you *mean* their home -- an end-user residence?

 Yes, I do *mean* that.

 As in you, Jay, should be allowed to run your own cache server in your
 home (Traffic Server is the one that I'm using in the TLMC concept).

 Wouldn't you like that?

 It would do little good; my hit rate on such a cache would be unlikely to
 be high enough to merit the traffic to keep it charged.

(Children watching a movie only once? Not a chance. It's more like 
unlimited number of times and then some more...).

So don't set-up an cache server at your home/residence.

I just want you to know that this was the best piece of technical debugging 
I've read in years. Absolutely awesome. Thank you so much for sharing what I 
can only imagine was an endless series of nightmares.

I've done debugging like this before and I can only say: I feel your pain and I 
wish I documented my previous efforts. Great writing sir.

Cheers,

  ISP.
 
 You're positing a situation where a cache infrastructure at scale built 
 close to the user has a sufficiently high hit rate for rather large 
 objects to be more cost effective than increasing capacity  in the 
 middle of the network as the bandwidth/price curve declines.  My early 
 career as an http cache dude makes me a bit suspicious. I'm pretty 
 confident that denser/cheaper/faster silicon is less expensive than 
 deploying boxes of spinning disks closer to the customer(s) than they 
 are today (netflix's cache for example isn't that close to the edge 
 (would support 2-10k simultaneous customers for that one application per 
 box), it aims to get inside the isp however) when you add 
 power/cooling/space/lifecycle-maintenance (I'm a datacenter operator) if 
 it wasn't the CDN's would have pushed even closer to the edge. Of course 
 if you can limit consumer choice then you can push your hit rate to 100% 
 but then you're running a VOD service in a walled garden and there are 
 plenty of those already.
 
 That said provide compelling numbers and I'll change my mind.

The problem with increasing capacity is that it opens up captive
eyeballs to innovative services from outside: monopoly operators will
prefer to deal with CDN providers  the like and keep control.

Sincerely,

Laurent

there are ways to offer vod/etc without pulling that content across
your 'internet' backbone, of course you'd still have to provide enough
capacity at the last L3 device (probably) to get all customers fed,

 In a greenfield build, cost difference for plant between PON and active

If you choose to have CO-based splitters, you need to have MDF
for L1 unbundling, and 1:8 (or 1:4, 1:32 or whatever) optical
splitter module for PON, combination of which requires more
CO space and money than SS (single star) optical equipment (just
MDF).

 On the CO-side electronics, however... I think it's safe to say that you
 can do GPON under $100/port.

Never ignore space and cost of optical splitters required only
for PON.

Note that the splitters cost even if they are located in field.

 The problem of PON is that, to efficiently share a fiber and

 Pardon my ignorance here, but could you explain why the cables would be
 physically different in the last mile ?

Drop cables are not for last miles, but for last yards.

Let's assume 4:1 concentration with PON.

Let's also assume that 1150 subscribers are evenly distributed over
51km trunk cable, which means distance between adjacent subscribers
is 44.3m.

 Why would this be different in a PON vs Point to Point system ?

If you use SS, you need a closure every 44.3m drop cable length
from which will be 5 or 10m.

OTOH, if you use PON and have 4 drop cables from an in-field
splitter, two drop cables needs extra 22.2 m and other two
needs extra 66.5 m.

 C: Closure

In this case, total extra drop cable length for PON is 51km,
identical to the trunk cable length.

It all depends how (initial and subsequent) subscribers are
distributed, but tendency is same.

As for cost for closures, while SS needs four times more
closures than PON, a closure for SS is simpler and cheaper
than that for PON to purchase, install and maintain.

 Wher I see a difference is between the neighbourhood aggregation point
 and the CO where the PON system will have just 1 strand for 32 homes
 whereas point to point will have 1 strand per home passed. But the
 lengths should be the same, shouldn't they ?

Never ignore topology at the last yards.
