[AusNOG] Telstra Cable - Multiple-Access

[Mark Currie]

Hi Skeeve,

Just had a look at the HFC spec, and it would seem to indicate that it is possible, although it would increase contention at the OE (Optical Node) as there would be higher bandwidth requirements, although Telstra have probably got some bs fineprint disallowing it for no plausible reason as per normal.  Bandwidth would also obviously  depend on how many other CE (customer end) connections are on the OE. Each HFC connection would have to have it’s own account. But as others have said, should it not just be easier to run the modem into a firewall with the auth done via POE from the firewall. Many of the current firewalls (particularly home or smb type have a setting for Telstra cable).

Cheers,
Mark Currie

Hey all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to get Telstra Cable connected multiple times in a single premises?

Many places have multiple cable connectors and you can get multiple Foxtel services, but I am wondering if you can do the same with the actual Bigpond Cable part.

Also, if it is possible, would both (or more) connections be at 100mb (if you ordered it).  I realise there is a shared medium for the segment you are on.

Thanks ;-)
