Importance: High

Hi, Karim:

1)If you have control of your own equipment (I presume that your business 
includes IAP - Internet Access Provider, since you are asking to buy IPv4 
blocks.), you can get a large block of reserved IPv4 address for free by 
disabling the program codes in your current facility that has been disabling 
the use of 240/4 netblock. Please have a look at the below whitepaper. Utilized 
according to the outlined disciplines, this is a practically unlimited 
resources. It has been known that multi-national conglomerates have been using 
it without announcement. So, you can do so stealthily according to the proposed 
mechanism which establishes uniform practices, just as well.

2)Being an unorthodox solution, if not controversial, please follow up with 
me offline. Unless, other NANOGers express their interests.

CRTC TPIA TARIFF

Dear NANOG Community,
Not sure if you're aware about any Canadian CRTC action to stop the large 
companies selling internet service at a price way below CRTC tariff. No way for 
TPIAs to compete.
Any though about the subject? What is CRTC view about the future of TPIA

On our network(which isn't docsis, granted) we use PPPoE for all static IP 
addresses, because it allows /32 ip address allocations for all home CPE 
routers, upstream, the routers handle routing via ospf to change the path of 
where that /32 public IP goes. It allows "zero touch" moving of a customer from 
one PoP to another.

So in most cases I'm aware of, the cable provider did not use RIP directly
to a customer-managed device.  The cable operator would deploy their own
managed device, implement RIP and the appropriate keychains between the
operator-managed premise device and the CMTS.  As for the use cases, RIP was
implemented to address the specific 'recombine' use case where one day (or
evening) cable customer attachments could be moved from one CMTS to another.
Instrumenting that with DHCP or TR69 usually required other teams'
involvement and didn't allow portability.

With IPv6 you get PD which helps immensely.

That's surprising to me, I have no intentions to do routing with our cable
subscribers, that seems like a headache for both sides Today we have
specific ranges within subnets from where we assign IPs to customers, my
main problem that I'm trying to get around is having to change a customer
static IP if their node gets splitter and I have to mode them to a different
CMTS

Yep, it's RIP.  They don't support IPv6 on this either.  I've been asking

IPv6 since 2006, it's always next year.

Kinda crappy they don't spell it out. Well, no, I guess USF would be closer to

Doubt it. They usually specify USF because they don't get to keep that money.

 

The generic "Regulatory Recovery Surcharge" is money they keep. They may in 
some tangential way have an increased cost engineering their network to comply 
with government regulations but whatever it is there's no connection to your 
particular bill.

 

Sort of like the airline "fuel surcharge" that never quite goes away when the

RE: World's Fastest Internet™ in Canadaland

[A MEKKAOUI]

Your right. Actually, Bell knows that home does not need that much BW, Bell 
size their network for much less than that. However, from a marketing 
perspective, when Bell says to a client I am offering you 1G at $100 and 
competition are offering you 30M at $60, some clients likes that because they 
ignore that 1G will not make a difference compared to 30M.

Also Bell is currently using ADSL technology to provide internet service which 
is a dead technology. So, Bell has no choice but to move to fiber if they want 
to stay on the market.

How does one fully utilize a gigabit link for home use? For a single person it 
is overkill. Similar to the concept of price elasticity in economics, going 
from 50mbps to 1gbps doesn't necessarily increase your average transfer rate, 
at least I don't think it would for me. Anyone care to comment? Just really 
curious, as to me it's more of a marketing push than anything else, even though 
gigabit to the home sounds really cool.
