Subject: SIP on FTTH systems Date: Wed, Feb 05, 2014 at 11:52:51PM -0500 Quoting Jean-Francois Mezei (jfmezei_nanog ()

Quick question:

I am thinking in a possible wholesale FTTH environment operated by a
telco where the end user is connected to ISP-X via PPPoE.

ONTs have built-in ATAs that can provide POTS service to a house and do
SIP/VoIP over the fibre with QoS system to ensure VoIP traffic gets through.

In a scenario where the data PPPoE connection is done by an external
router, what are the options to operate the VoIP service so that

- VoIP still uses the special lane on the GPON with QoS

- VoIP gets IP from ISP-X and traffic flow via ISP-X so that telco is
not involved in routing such traffic or allocating an IP address ?

Or, one could make sure everything has a globally unique IP address and is
using reasonably secured communications. The downside is that one
then can't defend the existence  of those empire-building middleboxes. It
is not the telco way, so is of course unthinkable. Like anything beyond
WAP was on cell phones a decade ago.

        Warum soll man es einfach machen, 
        wenn man es so schön komplizieren kann?

        (Why make things simple when you can 
         build them so beautifully complicated?)
