 matthewcroughan | Is it fiber, or fibre | 12:55:49 |
 emily | it's fibre in en-GB and fiber in en-US. | 13:08:17 |
| emily | pretty unambiguously. | 13:08:25 |
| emily | looks like it's "fibre" in en-CA and en-AU and everything else too. | 13:09:14 |
 magic_rb | @k900:0upti.me yeah no, here i have gpon there aon, here we have the option of up to 4gig, there only 1gig | 13:28:13 |
| magic_rb | We also tried the fritz and it would work, but the bpi did recognize the module and its just standard 1000base-x | 13:28:37 |
| magic_rb | So it should just work tm when i move on the 11th | 13:28:45 |
| emily | you're moving to somewhere with point-to-point and it has lower bandwidth? | 13:28:53 |
| emily | that surprises me | 13:28:56 |
| magic_rb | Aon is p2p? | 13:29:20 |
| magic_rb | Whats newer, like better gpon or aon? | 13:29:36 |
| emily | AIUI AON is when each subscriber has a point-to-point line that is actively driven | 13:30:22 |
| emily | hence A rather than P | 13:30:26 |
| magic_rb | Aaaa | 13:30:31 |
| emily | and GPON is the ~2 Gbit/s PON thing and XGSPON is the ~10 Gbit/s PON thing | 13:30:35 |
| magic_rb | Okay nice | 13:31:14 |
| magic_rb | But yes interesting that they dont offer 4gig | 13:31:22 |
 K900 | AON is just Nbase-X usually | 13:35:16 |
| K900 | So point to point links | 13:35:21 |
| K900 | Probably to a switch in your basement | 13:35:29 |
| K900 | PON is shared medium | 13:35:40 |
| K900 | With a bunch of users on the same big trunk doing cursed RF things over fiber | 13:36:19 |
| magic_rb | Ahhh | 13:36:50 |
| K900 | The "active"/"passive" distinction really refers to the "switches" | 13:37:02 |
| K900 | Which in PON are basically just fiber splices | 13:37:13 |
| K900 | Because shared medium | 13:37:19 |
| K900 | And in "AON" you need a real Ethernet switch to go from, like, 10 runs of 1000base-x to a 10000base-x trunk | 13:37:52 |
| K900 | Or whatever | 13:37:55 |
| magic_rb | Okay, nice, thanks for the info, thanks a lot | 13:38:07 |
| magic_rb | Im gonna be moving finally all my tech on the 11th so then ill try the bpi with the fritz module again | 13:38:29 |
