Fiber Tickets, GPON EPON, and gaming on REALLY accurate time

Clearing on some customer tickets

EPON is silly, an old technology to deploy because it’s 1G1G limitations and it runs on ethernet standards. GPON is better is EVERY application because it runs a SonetSDH when it moves frames to the ONU. Think of EPON like a taxi can do 1G1G over an ethernet standard when you only interact when you need to go somewhere. Think about GPON as a train that leaves the station even with no passengers 2.5G1.25G. This leads into why time is so important.

GPS, WWVD Time, and a variety of services that go overlooked like proper time. Gaming with 6ms pings can only take you so far if your clock is wrong. Make sure your using proper clocks on all your equipment. Do not believe what time it is unless you have 3 sources.

@JeffGeerling really took me down this rabbit hole on time and his dad knows at least 3x more with clock stuff!!!

Talking with Seth today we need a ANAC that includes time and PON. We both think an ANAC going on the network also that will repeat time and ANI. Allowing customers and technicians a variety of test utilities on and offnet.
