I spent a lot of time a couple of years ago working with wholesale DSL and 3G data in Ireland. We got DSL tails via L2TP from Eircom (the incumbent), another telco fed us raw PPPoE. O2 were able to deliver 3G data via PPPoL2TP over an IPSEC tunnel across the Internet [1]. They wanted silly money to do the same thing across a few dozen metres of fibre cross-connect. When I went to look at doing the same thing in the UK things started getting messy fast. I think AQL may have offered an L2TP solution, but by the time I found that I was far too concussed from trying to get various mobile operators to (a) talk to me and (b) think beyond sticking a managed router on my network and charging me an arm and a leg for it. -Ronan [1] Bastardised as only mobile operators can do - there was a PPP proxy sitting somewhere in the middle which didn't do things like IPv6. > On 15 January 2013 18:09, Ben Ward <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > Looking forward to seeing people on Thursday at the meeting. > > > > I've been doing some research on the benefits of an LNS and would > > appreciate some advice if anyone has 20 minutes to spare on Thursday.
