[AusNOG] "NBN Co to reserve data port for government"

[Brad Gould]

NBNCo have a problem, and its the number of MAC addresses they need to 
know about.

Each NTD port has a hard limit of 7 MAC's, and its specifically 
disallowing bridged ethernet.

You need a L3 device to connect to the NTD.

So how do you do wireless in that environment?  Increase the scope of 
the NTD to include some sort of L3 termination function?  Wireless 
security?

If thats the case, why have a customer router at all?  Then NBNCo become 
RSP circuit termination point, rather than the transport.  Nightmare for 
all concerned.
