Anon | Re: Latency and Interleaving
Nice to see something so un-mentioned getting some coverage. Would like to see more about the differences between interleaving or fast path switching. |

| The information available is vague. I'm hoping some tech types might contribute. Fast-path vs interleaving are options on the Cisco 675 ADSL home router ..
»www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc···ap04.htm indicates this, but there is no sign interleaving can be disabled, or checked for, on other brands of home ADSL equipment.
Since closed boxes rely on the remote DSLAM for their settings, Interleaving may be a rollout choice of the DSL network and not user selectable. |

Defanitely(sp?) very interesting. What about us Covad customers that signed up for ADSL service and recieved SDSL modems because this was all they were set up for? I signed up for 384/128 but during nice conditions I have seen it send at just under 300Kb/s, averaging around 250Kb/s.
I get 30ms to my first hop. This is not that bad considering my first hop is physically located in Wash DC and I am in Boston. Of course 10ms would be better  . |

This stuff does exist... I have had a lot to do with it in NZ. Most of the time it will drop the first hop latency to around 10 - 15 ms. Awesome for online gaming....
The only time I have seen it have undesired results is when someone had it enabled on a rural line that probably should never have had DSL in the first place. Electric fences seriously disrespect ADSL. =)
Unfortunately Telstra aren't helpful toward this at all... I am going to get to the bottom of this though... Going to try setup my Router for fastpath tonight. Will post the results. |
