Subject: SIP on FTTH systems Date: Wed, Feb 05, 2014 at 11:52:51PM -0500 Quoting Jean-Francois Mezei (jfmezei_nanog@vaxination.ca):
Quick question:
I am thinking in a possible wholesale FTTH environment operated by a telco where the end user is connected to ISP-X via PPPoE.
ONTs have built-in ATAs that can provide POTS service to a house and do SIP/VoIP over the fibre with QoS system to ensure VoIP traffic gets through.
In a scenario where the data PPPoE connection is done by an external router, what are the options to operate the VoIP service so that
- VoIP still uses the special lane on the GPON with QoS
- VoIP gets IP from ISP-X and traffic flow via ISP-X so that telco is not involved in routing such traffic or allocating an IP address ?
Or, one could make sure everything has a globally unique IP address and is using reasonably secured communications. The downside is that one then can't defend the existence of those empire-building middleboxes. It is not the telco way, so is of course unthinkable. Like anything beyond WAP was on cell phones a decade ago. Warum soll man es einfach machen, wenn man es so schön komplizieren kann?
