Hello list, I'm wondering if anyone out there has been doing something like this, and what the results were like... Assuming a network with routed carrier-class CPEs for singlehomed last mile business customers, or carrier-ethernet L2 transport services for the same sort of customers. Each CPE has a full set of SNMP monitoring features and the standard syslocation field where many ISPs put the street address of the device. Has anyone out there standardized on putting GPS coordinates in this field, in decimal degrees, such as this example: 45.563694,-122.528015 (a randomly chosen location in Portland OR) Using this, it seems that one could use automation tools and scripting to populate CPE statuses and locations on a huge map, or feed into a GIS system backend (ESRI or Autodesk), which would in turn feed an interactive mapping display. Has anyone used a system such as this for NOCs to quickly identify county-sized power outages or other anomalies that affect CPEs together in specific geographic regions? Or any other examples of the use of live SNMP location data on a large scale with thousands of CPEs.
