I notice Cisco's new ME4600 ONT's come in two flavors, one (the "Residential GateWay") with all the bells and whistles that you'd expect in an all-in-one home router (voice ports, small ethernet switch, wifi access point) and another (the "Single Family Unit") that looks a lot more basic and is likely to be deployed as a bridge. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/me-4600-series-multiservice-optical-access-platform/datasheet-c78-730446.html Aled On 15 May 2014 18:11, Jean-Francois Mezei <jfmezei_nanog () vaxination ca>wrote:
It had been my impression that ONTs, like most other consumer modems, came with built-in router capabilities (along with ATA for voice). The assertion that ONTs have built-in routing capabilities has been challenged. Can anyone confirm whether ONTs generally have routing (aka: home router that does the PPPoE or DHCP and then NAT for home) capabilities? Are there examples where a telco has deployed ONTs with the router built-in and enabled ? Or would almost all FTTH deployments be made with any routing disabled and the ONT acting as a pure ethernet bridge ? (I appreciate your help on this as I am time constrained to do research).
