Yes, being able to do anything dynamically in the optical domain would improve things. My main point is that to be able to do even the small stuff in the optical domain would be a big win. You don’t need to be able to achieve L2/L3 swi

Being able to do any kind of computation in the optical domain would benefit telecommunications immensely. Basic things like optical muxing/demuxing and serialization/deserialization would be fantastic.

Having to do a DNS lookup for each firewall rule is going to suck. Not to mention blackholing traffic when cached DNS replies are out of sync with the actual IP.

”you're allowed 1TB egress per day for each TB you have stored.” Where did you find the reference to 1TB per day? On the page it says: “1 TB of data egress for every 1 TB storage capacity used” I would have assumed this is per month.

What makes you say that? I’ve benchmarked both models with NAT and they will do 1G just fine.

100G transit is even cheaper at $5k/month. And that’s before you take into account you can do settlement free peering at Internet exchanges.

... or you could just get an Edgerouter X or a Mikrotik router for $40.

List price for a 32x 100G switch is $30k, but nobody pays list price. About six grand on eBay. Edit: for reference, the FS switch with 1.2 Tbps of switching capacity is $4k new.

20M is very little bandwidth for any kind of cloud backups.

100G per wavelength has been standard fare for some time now. The confusion is probably due to the fact that you can also run the 100G using multiple lanes at lower speeds. It all depends on what optics you use. You also don’t need 10U wo

The key question is, how much does it cost to run Starlink? This will determine how many customers they need to stay afloat. The second key question is, are there enough customers that can pay $100 per month for service? If not, Starlink wi

A really, really long time, as long as there is power. Modern fiber optic networks are really robust and will keep on chugging with minimal to no upkeep. Problems mainly arise when lightning fries equipment or backhoes run amok. It’s a whol

While interesting from an intellectual point of view, how is the link relevant to the topic being discussed?

1/ You do not need to rent commercial space to get a business address, a P.O. Box or similar will suffice. 2/ The ISP only needs a single business address, not multiple registered addresses for all their sites. 3/ This thread

Yes, and that’s why you keep home and business addresses separate. There are established procedures for law enforcement to contact ISPs to get the required information and that’s when you present your logs.
48.
by iptrans 5y ago
Sure, but your business address should not be your home. Thus swat would have to contact your business first before they can get a physical address.

by iptrans 5y ago
What? You tell the cops to go to this address and see this person as that’s the customer with the requested IP address. For any further questions you refer them to your company lawyer.

by iptrans 5y ago
Out of interest, why would the cops come to your house? It’s not like you can deliver LSD digitally, so there would have to be a shipping address. If you neighbor is shipping you LSD then you have a different problem: free LSD and/or a

> the Internet connection registered in my name. Well, that’s the problem right there. If you are running an ISP business you should not have your backhaul connection registered in your name, but in the name of your business.

Yeah, you’ll have to ask the cable company to drop you a fiber line and you’ll be in business.

That’s not the reason why you don’t share your Internet connection, that’s the reason why you keep logs.

Ignoring the lack of faith in humanity, what legal challenges are you afraid of?

A mesh network requires short hops or line of sight and willing participants. You might come up short on all accounts. A traditional WISP model might be more practical, if you can secure tower sites.

People want to access to the Internet, not your LAN.

ToS violation. You may not share Internet connections without explicit consent from the ISP. You can order a connection which allows sharing, but it’ll cost you about a grand or so per month.

Not if the municipality builds an open access network. Then any ISP can use the network and you pay the ISP of your choice.

Not a lot of private operators may be interested in a business that (is projected) to break even in say seven years.

Fiber optic cables contain glass strands. That’s what’s what’s used to transfer the signal. The plastic sheet is just mechanical protection. Not to be confused with the plastic ducts the fiber optic cables are often placed in.
