I know the intention of the article was to demonstrate the technological advantage of fiber optic networking vs. other technologies, but to mask the article around something that seems to indicate that "40GB to the home" is somehow the current benchmark is incredibly unrealistic.

I can see that *everybody* is missing the point on Peter's exercise. Clearly this is to show to the telcos of the world that you can upgrade to a native IP infrastructure and absorb the existing transport into the router with a minimal effort. There was a post here from someone that was there that explained how simple it was. This is HUGE! This has the potential to completely disrupt telco transport dinosaur groups *and* reshape the future. Taking it to his mom's house is just a poke in the telco eye, he is making fun of them. This then begs the question why can they do it between their facilities? If one guy can do it to a *house* it must not be that hard. However, telcos with transport groups of 1000s can't pull this off, this little project states volumes. ------=_Part_27080_26397708.1184296014222 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline <br><br> <div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/12/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Robert Bl ayzor</b> <<a href="mailto:rblayzor@inoc.net">rblayzor@inoc.net</a>> wrote :</span> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0. 8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"><br><br><br><br>I know the intention of the ar ticle was to demonstrate the technological<br>advantage of fiber optic networkin g vs. other technologies, but to mask <br>the article around something that seems to indicate that "40GB to the<b r>home" is somehow the current benchmark is incredibly unrealistic.<br><br> -Robert</blockquote> <div> </div> <div>I can see that *everybody* is missing the point on Peter's exercise.&nb sp; Clearly this is to show to the telcos of the world that you can upgrade to a native IP infrastructure and absorb the existing transport into the router with a minimal effort.  There was a post here from someone that was there that explained how simple it was.   This is HUGE!  This has the p otential to completely disrupt telco transport dinosaur groups *and* reshape the future.  Taking it to his mom's house is just a poke in the telco eye, he is making fun of them.  This then begs the question why can they d o it between their facilities?  If one guy can do it to a *house* it must n ot be that hard.  However, telcos with transport groups of 1000s can't pull this off, this little project states volumes. </div><br> </div><br> ------=_Part_27080_26397708.1184296014222--
