G.INP how to tell with unlocked HG612? High Ping on FTTC


[link to this post]
 
Hi All,

So I had various latency problem with my line in last month. BTOR attended
Today and found "tiny" fault on my line. As it was third time BTOR is attending to reported "fault" on my line he decided to swap wire pair going from green cabinet to man whole outside my house. He then told me he will reset DLM via phone call.

The new line has same speed as it was before I've noticed fault, but now it's stable.
However the latency has significantly increased. I remember back in August 2014
ping to certain BBC IP was around 11ms, yesterday before reporting fault it was already at high 20ms, Today is at 27ms.

In total I've restarted my modem three times Today each time getting different plus.net gw, all with this high latency.

Up till Today the modem I've used was ECI. However when I've noticed latency I've
put on recently purchased HG612 which I've unlocked. The latency remained as high.

Any idea, what's going on and why ping to be so high?

Below are some stats

Re: G.INP how to tell with unlocked HG612? High Ping on FTTC


[re: deleted] [link to this post]
 
If G.INP is enabled you will see references to bearer 1 and also the G.INP values shown in the telnet output will be non-zero.

In my experience it took a couple of days between replacing the OR-supplied ECI modem with an unlocked HG612 before the G.INP was enabled (I think the cabinet itself was enabled for G.INP a week or so earlier). When this happened the latency reduced from ~28ms (with both ECI and HG612) to ~18ms, the line has been synced at 80/20 since then and has been very solid and stable.

Your line doesn't yet have G.INP enabled, and is still under the effects of old-style DLM: a delay of 16ms has been specified (8ms downstream, 8ms upstream)).

It looks like a DLM reset has not been ordered (probable), or your line proved so bad, that DLM re-intervened immediately (possible, but unlikely).

What software version do you have in the HG612? (Easiest seen in the GUI). It should be V100R001C01B030SP08, but many are ...28SP10 which is earlier and not G.INP enabled.

Hi,
I have installed SP08 ( Software version V100R001C01B030SP08 ) so it
should be G.INP enabled.

Thanks, I can see now where 8ms is listed ( under delay ).
I guess the engineer made mistake and didn't complete request or it didn't go through.
In either scenario if the line doesn't come back to normal in couple days I will ask plus.net
to report this problem to them.

Hi,

What are the odds of DLM going back to clean state like the fault was never here?

Also, is there a list of planned G.IMP roll outs ?
Perhaps when they put new equipment in, the DLM would be reset for everyone
connected to that cabinet?

You need a DLM reset for a clean state.

I'm thinking that Openreach have suspended G.Inp activations for the time being, such is the scale of the ECI problem.

The Chipset vendor id is BroaDCoM, so it supports G.Inp properly.

I guess my problem was faulty line and not G.INP, it's just coincident that the
roll out was around the same time I've noticed the problem.

However I wouldn't mind it being enabled here, probably would help since I've got Huwai modem.

When plus.net support was dealing with my support query, they've posted various stats.
What is interesting that before the same stats had line "interleaving low", now it says "retransmission". However the delay of 8ms up/down seems to be more inline with interleaving tech.

Plus.net support confirmed to me that the profile was reset. The support person worked it
out based on fact that the profile name content is untouched and speed and interleaving is as on fresh line. I've also been told that DLM will now decide whether G.IMP is required and might enable it at later date.

If above is true, the things has changed, since I had another fault removed two months ago and when profile was reset I was on fast path, ping to BBC was 11ms and that only lasted one day. Now it's 28ms and upstream/downstream interleaving default is low.

Confirmed that the line has been reset, also notes show that a batter contact fault was identified and addressed as well. Confirmed that line data will be added to the ticket shortly.

Dear Mr Sobieski,

Thank you for contacting us this afternoon. As discussed here is the current live data for your line, as you can see the profile has changed and your line no longer has g.ipm enabled. Interleaving is set as low following the reset and it'll now be up to DLM to review this over time and then determine if it can remove it. Your not going to see this disappear in the short term so it's best to monitor the line over the next few weeks.

Kind regards,

Just an aside. It is G.INP, not G.IMP.

I was trying to ignore it hoping in time you would realise, but what appears to be a copy and paste from Plusnet disturbs me considerably. It contains "g.ipm". Is that what they sent, or have you typed the quotation rather than copy and paste, and made a typo?

Thanks for the correction and I'm also in need to rehabilitate on plus.net, they've used proper term G.INP, and G.IMP comes from me.

I guess I was exposed for too long to Gimp's, whether I heard in Pulp fiction, read in Doom 2 manual or finally installed on Linux to get some graphics done smile It's clearly deeply rooted in me smile

That suggests Openreach are saying G.INP is enabled on the line.


As well as indicating that DLM has activated G.INP, it also tells us that DLM has banded the line too - setting top speeds of 49/17.

Now, this is the profile that DLM wants to be active, but we can't be sure that the modem has actually negotiated this setting into place. The line stats shown in the OP definitely do not have G.INP active.

What we need to see, together, is the profile (as provided by Plusnet) and the complete line stats from the *same time*.

I can see with profile --show that it's only enabled for Ds:


Remember that Broadcom has their own (older) proprietary re-transmit mechanism, known an PhyR. This is different from G.998.4 (the official ITU standard, aka G.INP).

It seems that there are other configuration settings that enable G.INP separately from PhyR - but the "profile --show" command only shows the PhyR settings.

So the PhyR settings have no impact on whether G.INP is allowed to be activated on the line.

In reply to a post by RobertoS:
This post suggests upstream needs to be ON.


I think that post relates to the fact that Openreach have reported that ECI (modems & DSLAMs) cannot support G.INP upstream.

Separately, however, TP-Link and Lantiq have updated firmware that allows one of the TP-Link modems to work correctly in both directions. As this uses the same chipset as the ECI modems, it leaves us wondering what Openreach really have issues with.

Your line doesn't yet have G.INP enabled, and is still under the effects of old-style DLM: a delay of 16ms has been specified (8ms downstream, 8ms upstream)).

It looks like a DLM reset has not been ordered (probable), or your line proved so bad, that DLM re-intervened immediately (possible, but unlikely).


Plus.net support confirmed to me that the profile was reset. The support person worked it
out based on fact that the profile name content is untouched and speed and interleaving is as on fresh line. I've also been told that DLM will now decide whether G.IMP is required and might enable it at later date.

If above is true, the things has changed, since I had another fault removed two months ago and when profile was reset I was on fast path, ping to BBC was 11ms and that only lasted one day. Now it's 28ms and upstream/downstream interleaving default is low.

Dear Mr Sobieski,

Thank you for contacting us this afternoon. As discussed here is the current live data for your line, as you can see the profile has changed and your line no longer has g.ipm enabled. Interleaving is set as low following the reset and it'll now be up to DLM to review this over time and then determine if it can remove it. Your not going to see this disappear in the short term so it's best to monitor the line over the next few weeks.

Kind regards,


Sorry - but out of that post, I couldn't work out what was historical data related to an old fault, and what is current, fresh, up-to-date data about the line as it stands now.

I can see a timestamp in the test data (in the quoted post), and the profile settings there show old-style interleaving in place in both directions - matching my original post in this thread.

In an earlier post, you included test results from Plusnet that indicated Retransmission profiles were in use, but you cut the timestamp off that, making it impossible to see when it applied.

If a reset has happened to take you away from G.INP (and banding), then it has pretty rapidly put interleaving back on. That suggests you have high error rates on the line - which you ought to be able to see by monitoring the CRC and ES counters (after reset, but prior to DLM intervention) and the CRC, ES and FEC counters (after old-style intervention).

I'm currently using a Billion 8800NL, with a slightly newer Broadcom chipset. It uses the "adsl" command instead of "xdslcmd", but is otherwise the same...

This is what I get for the "adsl profile --show" command:

The same, right? Like you, I have G.INP configured in both directions, which can be seen by the configuration of RRC bits in both directions, and queues in both directions.
RxQueue:                57              39

G.INP lookback:         19              13
RRC bits:               24              24

Profile with Retransmission indicated was before the fault was removed, I had ECI modem then. At that time the line stats were really bad ( see first post ). The BT engineer found fault on line and swapped it. Next thing the engineer has reset the DLM profile for me.
From what plus.net tells me, it's default to have interleaving on both ways now and then DLM will make decisions what next.

Also something you might find interesting. Plus.net indicated in the ticket that I might have problem with my line because of G.INP and that they're going to book BT engineer.
The BT engineer that came didn't know what retransmission or G.INP is. As far as he was concerned he came to fix a faulty line. He seemed to be interested what the tech was, so I explained :/

Ok, here we go. As you can see on the screenshot, DLM kicked in Today around 8:50am, the latency was removed and G.INP enabled. The sync speed was never that high (12mbps up ). Ping is back to normal (10ms to bbc ).

Yup - that is indeed a G.INP configuration.

There are small amounts of FEC and interleaving configured on bearer 0, in addition to the G.INP re-transmission that is configured there. This is perfectly normal, and will only cause small delays to packets (I've calculated it, in the past, to be about 0.2ms)
