Only Gigabit? I'm holding out for 10G!
I've got 47 devices on my network and 2 roommates.
- Mo3 6y agoHow are you owning 15+ active devices per person?
- ketralnis 6y agoI live with one other person but I'll exclude their stuff: * work laptop * desktop * phone * alexa * tv * nintendo switch * roomba * raspberry pi I use for retro games * an ancient android tablet I use to play spotify * a more modern android tablet I use for web browsing in bed * a e-ink reader * 3 wemo plugs That's 14 * support wifi that I don't use: tv, instant pot, washing machine, garage door opener, a gopro-type camera, thermostat * I don't have wifi security cameras but lots of people in my area do I'm probably forgetting things, especially things that support wifi if I wanted them to
- bluedino 6y agoDo roombas and thermostats use much bandwidth?
- beastman82 6y agoNo
- tobylane 6y agoThey frequently ping home for those vital security updates, see @internetofshit. AWS’s outage taught us Roombas download the floor plan at the start of every cleaning session.
- Mo3 6y agoThat's insane, but does make sense. I can't relate, I live with my girlfriend and all we have is: My laptop Her laptop My phone Her phone TV/Chromecast Never felt the need for dedicated devices just for music/browsing
- virtuallynathan 6y ago- Phone, Laptop, and iPad per person - Work Phones, work laptops - Smart TV, Media Players, Game Consoles - Smart Home devices, hubs, thermostats, Amazon Echo's, etc.
- coddle-hark 6y agoI’d love 10G just for nerd points but even if they built it out where I live the equipment is still too loud (!) and expensive. You’re basically running a small data enter at that point.
- virtuallynathan 6y agoThe UBNT UDM Pro is $380 and virtually silent, does 8Gbps routing w/o security features. My 10G switch also basically silent.
- throw0101a 6y ago> Only Gigabit? I'm holding out for 10G! 10G is for newbs. IEEE Std 802.3ca-2020 does 25Gbps (50G if two lambdas are used): * https://blog.siemon.com/standards/ieee-p802-3ca-25-gb-s-and-50-gb-s-ethernet-passive-optical-networks https://blog.siemon.com/standards/ieee-p802-3ca-25-gb-s-and-... * https://www.cablelabs.com/25g-50g-epon-standard-crosses-the-finish-line-enhancing-fiber-deployments-as-part-of-cables-10g-platform https://www.cablelabs.com/25g-50g-epon-standard-crosses-the-... * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_in_the_first_mile https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_in_the_first_mile Though most PON fibre deployments seem to use the ITU GPON standards, and not the IEEE's EPON. An ITU group seems to have been formed for 25G: * https://www.lightwaveonline.com/fttx/pon-systems/article/14185097/operators-vendors-combine-to-create-25gspon-msa https://www.lightwaveonline.com/fttx/pon-systems/article/141... * https://www.csimagazine.com/csi/25GS-PON-MSA-group.php https://www.csimagazine.com/csi/25GS-PON-MSA-group.php AFAICT, both technologies use the same underlying Layer 1 fibre and laser power budgets. Besides ISPs, a lot of this PON infrastructure is also used by telcos for mobile tower backhaul.
- virtuallynathan 6y agoYep, NG-PON2 or any other higher speed standard would be just fine as well :)
