Re: FTTx Active-Ethernet Hardware
We are using TP-LINK for ETTH, and it seems very good with a fair price. Only the problem is they like to make completely another device and sell it as the same part number but another hardware revision which is only written by small letters on the device itself. So you have to keep an eye on it.

These kinds of devices are quite popular here in Sweden where we basically have no PON what so ever (I know of no major PON deployments, everything is active ethernet either over CAT5e/CAT6 or fiber): http://inteno.se/store/tabid/141/categoryid/130/productid/783/default.aspx http://inteno.se/store/tabid/141/categoryid/130/productid/771/default.aspx http://inteno.se/store/tabid/141/categoryid/130/productid/442/default.aspx (I am not affiliated with Inteno, I just know they are quite common in the market here and the above list is to provide examples of producs used here) They typically use BiDi optics to run bidirectional fiber over single strand, in some cases in conjunction with hardware that runs HFC on the other strand. I'm really looking for something cheap to keep costs down for a proof-of-concept. The stuff from Cisco and even Ciena is a bit more expensive than my target. Typically people here tend to buy regular enterprise hardware, but still that can do the BCP38 kind of stuff needed to deliver a proper secure end user connection.

Any and all help would be appreciated. Tom If ATT is still using 6rd then you don't need a hardware change to use it. 6rd is like a 6to4 tunnel with special features. You can run it on your router or other machines. Openwrt supports it. Here is a brief how to, google for more help: http://www.litech.org/6rd/ For ATT, basically, 2602:300::/28 (6rdPrefix/6rdPrefixLen) and 12.83.49.81 (6rdBRIPv4Address, which is an anycast) is all you need to get it running. IPv4MaskLen is 0 (use the whole IPv4 address within IPv6, but notice that due to 6rdPrefixLen being /28 (instead of the more conventional /32) you have to do some one-nibble shifting, but the plus side is that you do get a /60 in the end). If your IP number is not static then your IPv6 address won't be either. Of course you could always try 6to4, where the prefix is 2002::/16 and the anycast relay router is 192.88.99.1. This will work if ATT resolves the anycast address. Or you could set up a Hurricane Electric 6in4 tunnel. So, with ATT residential, I think you get 3 half assed choices, 6rd, 6in4 and 6to4 (if they support it). Bill

Hey Eric, I did not see anyone else post this, but the NANOG BCOP (Best Current Operating Practices) group has released the following document to help guide new IPv6 allocation plans which you and others may find helpful: http://bcop.nanog.org/images/6/62/BCOP-IPv6_Subnetting.pdf Another useful document from Department of Defense on IPv6 Addressing: http://www.v6.dren.net/AddressingPlans.pdf BCOP Conclusions 1. Everyindividual network segment requiresat a minimum,one /64 prefix 2. Only subnet on nibble boundaries 3. Implementa hierarchicaladdressing planto allow for aggregation a. Each individual site should be allocated a /48 prefix 4. One /48 fromeachregion should be reservedfor infrastructure a. Loopbacksshould be allocated fromthe top /64 b. Point-to-point links should be allocated a /64 and configured witha /126or /127 5. Sites/PoPs/locationsand regions,etc.should be laid out suchthatwithin eachlevel of the hierarchy, eachsubnet prefix is of equal size a. Each ³site² should likewisehavean equalized internalhierarchy Regarding your management block, I would use the recommendation above to maintain a /48 in each region for management with the top /64 used for loopbacks. However I definitely would NOT bother removing this network from your advertised blocks as there are much better ways to implement security and it would screw with your ability to cleanly aggregate your IPv6 allocation.

Re: UVerse question
What is a “4wire” modem? Is that a Chinese knockoff of a 2wire brand? ;-) Or are you referring to a pair-bonded modem? ATT seems to only offer the pair-bonded device (in most cases, a Motorola NVG589) when you have their 45mbps “Power” service. If anything, you could always upgrade to the 45mbps service just to get the new modem, and then downgrade after you get the modem installed. The newer modems, including the 589, provide IPv6 support using 6rd. The compatibility test previously mentioned will determine if your current device is capable of IPv6. The older equipment has firmware updates available that will provide IPv6 connectivity.

Re: FTTx Active-Ethernet Hardware
Price and functionality-wise Planet MGSW-28240F and GSD-1020S look pretty close to what I'm looking for. Anyone have real experience with using them on a large scale? Performance?

What options are out there for Active-Ethernet hardware. Ideally something that could handle G.8032 and 802.1ad in hardware for the distribution side (24 or 48-port SFP metro switch) and something inexpensive for the access side but still managed (e.g. a 4-port switch with an SFP uplink supporting Q-in-Q). I'm really looking for something cheap to keep costs down for a proof-of-concept. The stuff from Cisco and even Ciena is a bit more expensive than my target. -- Ray Patrick Soucy Network Engineer University of Maine System T: 207-561-3526 F: 207-561-3531 MaineREN, Maine's Research and Education Network www.maineren.net -- Ray Patrick Soucy Network Engineer University of Maine System T: 207-561-3526 F: 207-561-3531 MaineREN, Maine's Research and Education Network www.maineren.net
Comcast New England dropped for 5-15 min? Anyone
Hey, anyone had problems just now? My team and I at homes lost internet access for about 10 min. I also had many sites drop off. Still digging, but maybe trouble upstream? I'm in 50.133.128.0/17 at home. --Andrey
Re: UVerse question
ATT will do a bonded VDSL2 connection in cases where a single connection isn't getting enough throughput. Also, be aware that the device may now be branded as an Arris, but Tim is correct that it's normally a NVG589 for new installs.

Is that a Chinese knockoff of a 2wire brand? ;-) Or are you referring to a pair-bonded modem? ATT seems to only offer the pair-bonded device (in most cases, a Motorola NVG589) when you have their 45mbps “Power” service. If anything, you could always upgrade to the 45mbps service just to get the new modem, and then downgrade after you get the modem installed. The newer modems, including the 589, provide IPv6 support using 6rd. The compatibility test previously mentioned will determine if your current device is capable of IPv6. The older equipment has firmware updates available that will provide IPv6 connectivity.

Any and all help would be appreciated. Tom
