<pre wrap="">I'm at the CommsAlliance briefing and meeting with NBN Co in
Melbourne. The network reference diagram on the screen envisages
various forms of access at every layer.
There is another of these sessions in Brisbane.
CA members are welcome to participate in the working group putting the
model together. Others are welcome to watch and comment.
Get involved or it will be done to you.
Cheers,

<pre wrap="">Apart from a Layer2 ethernet VLAN-style service, TR-144 includes a
'Layer 3' option similar to the L2TP model, and there is debate about
whether NBNCo should incorporate something like this within the
service
mix it provides directly, or whether this is a contestable form of
connectivity that wholesale customers of NBNCo should do instead and
leave NBNCo doing layer-2 only. There are some pros - may make it easy
for current Telstra Wholesale ISPs to migrate, but also some cons, and
AFAIK more of the arguments to and fro are about commercial
opportunity
rather than technical capability.
This particular aspect is something I'd like to see more debate on in
here - it certainly isn't fixed in stone yet, so we as the directly
affected parties should work out what we would like NBNCo to do, and
what we would like them to keep their paws right out of.

<pre wrap="">Well, this would depend a little on the choice of vendors - some ONTs
have built-in PSTN ports and some form of connectivity (possibly
SIP/H.323, possibly some sort of derived TDM channel) back to the OLT,
some provide multiple ethernet ports and would need an external
ATA-style device to provide a PSTN service.
I expect there will be an argument from government that a built-in
PSTN
port is mandatory, to provide emergency call capability if nothing
else.
It will also depend a lot on input from industry (ie us people) on how
we want to see those PSTN ports presented as a wholesale service
interface - and whether we even want that provided as a service
interface or not, and prefer to supply own ATAs and devices instead of
using a built-in capability.
For example, I can't see too many wholesale-customers-of-NBNco
AusNOGers
getting excited about a V5.2 interface for aggregated telephony on the
back of each OLT.
Paul.
