  1. Public S3 Bucket with schematics, secure boot keys, arm trusted firmware signing keys for commercially available ONTs and #Realtek xPON SDK, that usually requires signing nasty NDAs: mk-wangtong.s3.amazonaws.com

    The SDK contains kernel drivers for Realtek xgspon / gpon chips. From PLOAM to OMCI – all there.

    Please share with #openwrt devs and anyone you know of, who might be messing around with #GPON and #xgspon. :BoostOK:

    I want to see some open-source & open-hardware ONTs 😈

  2. The result of a couple of weeks deep in the world of optical networking: my O2/CETIN fiber now terminates in an SFP+ stick, not the ISP's ONT box.

    Turns out XGS-PON stick modules run OpenWrt inside — and I simply couldn't walk past that. I've loved OpenWrt since forever. Can't say the same about the ISP's box... who knows what's inside. 🙂

  4. Adventures in #BellCanada #XGSPON, episode 3:

    Backhoes Strike Back!

    FIBRE FAILURE. Bell chalks up 47 hours of hard downtime on its residential fibre service in 16 weeks of operation, i.e. 98.25% availability.

    Today, transport fibre cut. Followed by PON node isolation, netting me two tickets.

    I have now ordered DOCSIS to provide backup because #BellMobility is completely unusable - I can't even hold up a HSPA connection, never mind a voice call. 👎

    Bell Mobility is about to be Cancelled x2.

  5. Previously, on #Bell #XGSPON Outages...🎶

    Installer clips the fibre so low to the ground a rodent decides its nummy, taking me down...

    Today's Episode...

    #BellMobility Internet doesn't work (1M dwn/100K up) during failure, so It Is Not The Backup I Am Looking For...

    #Escalation a week later formally says "yep, we know, oh well". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    IOW, #Bell knowingly sold me cell service in a dead spot, but happily told me verbally & on service map its 5G.

    Nope, HSPA only. #WONTFIX

  6. You have heard of #fibre backhoe fade.

    Now feel the power of fibre rodent fade, 30 days post installation.

    Yep, the fibre run from network demarc to interior demarc jack got nibbled to death.

    Note to #Bell installers: don't run the cable close to ground level as an attractive nuisance for rodents.

    Especially when your knowledgable client asks you not to do it that way.

    Kudos to today's tech for working with me to come up with a routing that while more work, is better defended.

  7. oooh. 5GHz wifi on #Bell #xgspon

    I have not yet begun to optimize.

    Cat6e to come.

  8. I was astonished to discover that #Bell does not support #IPV6 on #XGSPON #fiber and seems to have no plans to do so.

    I mean, wtf? Reading the forums it appears to be a standing joke now.

    Is there any technical rationale for this? Did they pick equipment vendors that don't do IPV6 or something?

    I guess I can always go HE tunnel broker, but holy cow that's a big step backwards from #Rogers

  9. I am considering shifting over from #Rogers #HFC to #Bell #XGSPON

    The #PPPoE #ONT noise has given me pause.

    I get that #DSL adopted PPPoE because circuit switching underlay (*cough* ATM). It sort of made sense then. Barely.

    But what is the justification for continuing PPPoE on *PON networks?

    It seems like extra equipment scaling cost & complexity to me.
