Your point on asymmetrical technologies is excellent. But you may not be aware that residential optical fiber is also asymmetrical. For example, GPON, the latest ITU specified PON standard, and the most widely deployed, calls for a 2.4 Gbps downstream and a 1.25 Gbps upstream optical line rate. Not all residential fiber is asymmetric. Nokia XGS-PON supports 9.953 Tx/Rx (e.g. LTF7226 transceiver). XGS-PON isn't Nokia specific and can be bought from many other vendors. Even as probably no one is deploying XG-PON in new deployments (10/2.5G), I don't believe ISP start selling symmetrical services to residential customers as a standard, even if the PON itself is symmetrical. I know you can get from many providers a symmetrical service on G-PON, but

Does anyone know the Asian market where they are using E-PON? After my very short search it seems they provide best effort up to 1G without any real plans...
My question is always: how are people using these technologies doing queue management. I took apart one ONT so far, it supported RED and hardware flow control, but if it were configured or not, couldn't tell. Sonic (SF) had about 90ms of buffering in their upstream. -- FQ World Domination pending: https://blog.cerowrt.org/post/state_of_fq_codel/ Dave Täht CEO, TekLibre, LLC
