Got a billboard now? New POP is officially ONLINE! and a quick network overview. 

Thanks for watching!

Well get out of retirement and help me out here...

Cool thanks for watching it's a lot work honestly it's all just actually using a shovel unfortunately

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! A lot of different folks ask questions so was just trying to keep up with the variety

Thanks for still watching! Maybe someone from Comcast sees it and just buys us :)

Thanks for watching I feel like the videos that I expect everyone to hate on are the ones enjoyed the most. No one wants to see us dig :)

Thanks for watching

We are all in on this we need to take 100 customers a month from DSL and DOCSIS!

ewww ADSL !! BARF !@@briceperdue7587

Yeah once all construction is completed in the building I'll clean her up and get a reasonable filter going on. They are sanding hardwood floors on the 2nd floor so it's pretty much impossible to avoid the dust like it's static

@@briceperdue7587 human factors eng - the box fans with cheap hepa furnace fans, faraday cages, ion plates to grab dust, good grounding, humidity controls but beyond all that will we see some wifi7 protocols that enable longer range? you could run fiber to 1 house and then everybody on the block could get 2 down/1 up with pki/qkd for security ostensibly - things are still changing rapidly and although fiber is keystone we should see even more innovation and adaption of the tech to enable faster and cheaper, wider geographic rollouts at much less cost #801.22. here i just upgraded an ancient dell opnsense box and somehow got 2 gig cards working in it - speeds bumped 4x down and 2x up - even though it is held together with some duct tape still pretty happy. an old laptop i had with only fast ethernet also got usb gig adapter and major boosts in speeds even though it is only on usb2 port. you should have content on ids/ips pkt cap box in the pop noc/soc - yeah you won't have infosec threat hunter on tap to give you updates but you will have all the ingress and egress pkts and therefore an audit trail to tcp-replay event and definitively find out what happened - one box may be able to monitor multiple span ports #sec onion #malcolm #selks #rock nsm

We have bought them at auction and got them from upstreams both. We are currently on the waiting list for a /22 so getting from our upstream is important to not get removed.

It's nothing crazy just 2 racks with 2 splice trays then a SC jumper connecting the 2 ports. We don't own it and I cannot reasonably do a video\pictures inside it. Imagine those weird buildings you see on side of the road with no signs.

I like to call them affordable and suspiciously reliable! Thanks for watching

10% average 20% peak which is like minutes long like a speed test etc

single strand Example: 1310 RX wave 1 1330 TX wave 1 1350 RX wave 2 1350 TX wave 2 and obvi it is swapped on the other side, this would be side A So dont need two strands, just use wavelengths

This is about correct except it's all in the 1550s like 1550.76 and 1550.21

It's funny you ask that as you were the one that gave me the firmware for the Aristas we are using :) But I actually have met a very smart viewer of my channel about a year ago reach out. He is now my BGP engineer and I have zero regrets on that but I do believe he wishes to remain anonymous.

it's BIDI DWDM it has pros\cons. 1 fiber can do 10G max but 16 channels. 2 fiber can do like 40 channels X 100G. Also the distance is limited

@@briceperdue7587So can one normal duplex dwdm optic do full duplex over that link? Or does it need bidi optics?

your send/receive are different wavelengths.

@@briceperdue7587 Oh can you link the exact FS model so I can see? I am curious as well

@@hariranormal5584 FS part no 78535 You need a Side B on the other side of the link. 1 link exists of 2 colors: eg CH21 upstream, CH22 downstream for a single link. So with 16 channels youre using 32 waves in total, on a single fiber. ​ @briceperdue7587 You might consider running DWDM with AODM muxes to allow more redundancy, that allows you eg to run CR2 to North Salibury with a passive 10G link, so if the core arista goes down (hardware or power), you still have a working passive link to keep the underlaying switches connected (instead of having the Arista as SPOF). When upgrading to 2-fiber (or single fiber), I would recommend buying dual link muxes, which combines 2 waves, allowing you to upgrade to 100G DWDM (which is using 2x50Ghz / 2 waves), and/or getting 1310 ports on the muxes as well. (eg the 7 mile link can be done on 100G without major costs, by using a 100G 1310mn on the pass port.

No need to, usually its best practise to setup OSPF as the core, and use MPLS to terminate at the end point towards the customers (for P2P links) or use routed interfaces on the border routers which are routed through the OSPF to the best route.

Due to being so small we are not using MPLS just yet. But being fully routed L3 if someone really needs something else we might do a DWDM wave. We also do VLAN still as we control both ends.

Yeah but we have 3 customers that use it figure out of 500 so it's very rare most folks just want access to the broader internet
