[AusNOG] fibre path diversity

[Tony]

Thanks for all the off-list posts. 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). 


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).

Probably should have thought about it a bit more and might have come to the same conclusion myself.


Thanks,
Tony.

Hi all,

This is just for my own curiosity more than anything and I know there are some people on this list that know about this kind of stuff.

I received a scheduled outage notification from a carrier today that had this in the description of works:

"We are cutting the 96
fibre cable so that we can create a new splice joint to complete diversity to <street address>"

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.


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.



Thanks,
Tony.
