[AusNOG] Telstra wholesale EA fibre shaping

[Greg Lipschitz]

The TW EA service is a TW only product.

EA is not offered via retail. It is a different product offered by Telstra Retail.

Why not use your own device as a bridge to do your shaping between the Telstra OS904 and Customer CPE?

Cheers,

Greg

Subject: [AusNOG] Telstra wholesale EA fibre shaping

Hi Guys,

With Telstra Wholesale EA Fibre circuits we have always had to do the shaping on these services because Telstra would simply drop non-confirming packets that burst over the purchased bandwidth. This is typically not a problem as we would usually supply a Cisco router and just apply the shaping on the Cisco router.

However sometimes the customer wants to use their own router/firewall and connect this directly to the OS904 Fibre NTU that Telstra supply, so they have to do the shaping on their router, and a lot of people struggle to get this right.

I have been told that on Telstra retail services, for example the 50/50Mbps fibre $850 promo that Telstra retail offer, that the end users do not need to perform shaping on their equipment, that Telstra retail does the shaping for them.

Can anyone confirm if this is indeed correct? Seems strange that it is different for Telstra wholesale compared to Telstra retail.

Or have I had my head in the clouds for too long?

How are other people handling this shaping requirement?

Thanks
Radek
