General consensus seems to be that this would be to complete the diverse path by utilising a fibre (that is already in place) for the second path but that they have to splice into to run to the building (via diverse entry). <br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Not as I read and mis-understood to mean they were taking an existing path and just splitting it upstream to just provide "diverse" entry points (which would be rather pointless).</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Probably should have thought about it a bit more and might have come to the same conclusion myself.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Thanks,</span></div><div><span>Tony.<br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div

of stuff.</div><div><br></div><div>I received a scheduled outage notification from a carrier today that had this in the description of works:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12pt;">"We are cutting the 96
fibre cable so that we can create a new splice joint to complete diversity to <street address>"</span></div><div><br><span style="font-size:12pt;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12pt;">Does this sound like a customer has requested diverse fibre paths to the premises to they are just splicing the fibre somwhere upstream to create the diversity ? This seems slightly strange to me as you would still have a single redundant path upstream of this new splice, which appears to be <200m from the end point.<br></span></div><div><br></div><div>Again, this isn't a service that we've requested be installed, we just happen to have an existing service that will be disrupted as a result of the above works. Just curious.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Tony.<br></div></div></div></div><meta http-equiv="x-dns-prefetch-control" content="on"><br>_______________________________________________<br>AusNOG mailing list<br><a
