They could be muxing eight ways from Sunday and providing poor performance to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be muxing eight ways from Sunday and providing poor performance to match. Muxing shouldn't have anything to do with it. Actually, they shouldn't be muxing anywhere anyway. Well, not traditional muxing. The backhaul provider could be over-subscribing the service, but that wouldn't make any sense and I personally haven't experienced that. I guess it also comes down to are they getting an MPLS\Carrier Ethernet type backhaul which is easier to oversubscribe or are they getting a dedicated Ethernet\sub-wavelength service. The latter would be very difficult to oversubscribe in any fashion. Also, transit is full route Internet service. Transport is backhaul.

miguell2 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 You saw it here first! http://convergence.sprint.com/downloads/400G%20release%20final%208-15.pdf Back-haul, back-haul back-haul! I doubt this will translate directly to network speeds on the near term but long term it looks like backhaul should not be a problem, except last mile issues we have currently. Thoughts?

Ascertion Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 400GBS damn lol That's making even Google look bad. Why can't any of these fiber networks come to Jacksonville?

mhammett Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 It may have been said before, but this is the first time I've seen it mentioned that this was done over their existing network and not IRUs on someone else's newer fiber. There was doubt that original Sprint and AT&T builds would support higher data rates. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to have only 1 option for fiber internet - and that's the monopolistic Comcast. It makes no one look bad. Networks have been trialling systems over 100 gig and deploying 100 gig for a year or two now. Google may very well already be doing this, but as they aren't a carrier, they have no need to announce it. Which Jacksonville? It is highly doubtful that you have Comcast fiber. Comcast rarely has a monopoly of fiber services. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dave Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Comcast is the devil. They have a monopoly here in northeastern Florida. They blocked Verizon FiOS and AT&T so besides Comcast Internet, I have no DSL option and Clear never got a signal in my home unless I had it outside on top of the fence.

I am not aware of any 100 gigabit cards for servers. There are, however, 40 gigabit cards. They're not very common, though. There also aren't any servers that could generate that much data even if they had a card. There are gigabit network everywhere.

mhammett Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I wasn't talking about 400GB lol. I just said GB. Our local hospital has 2 locations and then has a ton of buildings for heart, physical and eye doctors. There entire network is one and is interconnected. The recent conversation has been about Sprint's addition of 100 gigabit and testing of 400 gigabit segments. If you're going to go off-topic, please say so.

You can fix that by blackmailing the local government officials with pictures of them holding a cat by it's tail. That'll learns them. But no really, your best bet to change the oligopoly is to inform the locals that your elected officials are not looking to save them money and allow competition. My HOA is doing the same thing right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dave Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 How did Comcast block them? According to the person at the AT&T store across the street from my house, Comcast owns all the fiber in this area and has an aggressive ad campaign that has buried any reason for AT&T to invest in putting fiber down to support u-verse and their high speed Internet. As far as Verizon, they made a deal to offer Verizon wireless as a part of comcast's bundled services for a quadruple play home phone, cable, Internet and wireless deal to increase market dominance for Verizon wireless and Comcast both but as part of that, they can't compete with their own FiOS services. It seems besides cell service, there is little competition in the telco business overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
