G.INP disabled on Huawei Cabinet


[link to this post]
 
On a Huawei cabinet here,previously had G.INP enabled, been having major work done on my line, this morning I now find that G.INP has been disabled, had a DSLStat email confirming this.

Once the connection has settled down will G.INP be enabled again.

That's rather odd to see from G.INP enabled and then turned off! How strange!

Has your DLM been reset by any chance.... doubt it will be back anytime soon from what some are reporting on other forums..

it was removed from my upstream in the last couple of weeks which is annoying considering it made a good improvement to my line.

Also can't help but notice your SNR is very low!

I agree over SNR is very low and that's not a good sign for Fibre. 1.7 dB is terrible low!

target is 6db... the only reason it would be that low is if it has been pushed that low using chipset telnet commands or if the attainable rates have plummeted

If your cabling has been replaced as you suggest in the other thread, I would have thought that a DLM reset would be applied to all the lines affected.

In time DLM may decide ro re-enable G.INP, it depends on the error stats on the connection over the next few days.

A DLM reset wouldn't be applied to all lines on that faulty cable. That's not how it works

If someone gets called out on a fault they can do a reset. But it's just assumed for everyone on that cable that DLM will do its thing, automatically.

I'm on copper right back to the cabinet now, engineer rerouted part of my line, & replaced it in copper & join it in to a exsisting newish copper cable.

A DLM reset will disable G.INP. It should come back within 24-48 hours.

A drop of attenuation of 1.5dB is worth around 6mbps on lines in the 60-80Mbps, and yours seems to have gained that.

It seems to me that if a DLM reset is applied when an engineer makes some changes or repairs on a single line that it would make sense to do it if multiple pairs are repaired/replaced. If not, fair enough, but on ADSL the DLM process seemed very slow to respond and not all lines will be FTTC in a case like this.

Looks like I had G.Inp enable on my line today:

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share-thumb/5877f...

Router confirms it's G.Inp, latency has doubled to ~20ms. Max attainable rate has jumped from 87Mb to 100Mb, so I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing..

My line had a minimal errors and a decent SNR - does G.Inp enable by default on all lines, regardless of quality?

It's very odd for latency to increase when G.INP is implemented. In all I've seen it has decreased it.

How often do you disconnect and reconnect normally? It's more likely the implementation was the full depth red at about 2am than when the latency jumped.

Is there anything else in the Sky router stats that might give us a clue what is happening?

The indispensable man or woman passes from the scene, and what happens next is more or less the same thing as was happening before.

Hardly ever disconnect/reconnect - aside from the red at 2am and 10am, the other red spikes are when I commit settings on my Billion 8800 as it mustn't reply to pings for a couple of seconds.

I do monitor downstream SNR via SNMP which you can see below:

http://killsta.co.uk/graph1.jpg

Which does tie in with the G.Inp and the TB graph I posted previously. Crosstalk I wonder? Still doesn't explain the random resync at 10am today though!

[re: RobertoS] [link to this post]
 
It certainly doesn't look like G.INP... though it could be a G.INP on Downstream and then Interleaving has been applied on upstream...

specially as OR are now removing G.INP from existing G.INP enabled (both ways) lines and leaving them on with G.INP on downstream and Fast Path (or what ever is required) on Upstream

And here be the relevant line stats:

http://www.killsta.co.uk/stats.jpg

Prior to yesterday, max attainable rate used to be 92Mb ish, with an SNR of 9.3 ish with no interleaving or G.Inp and was perfectly stable with minimal errors and no instability whatsoever. So it looks like G.Inp enabled, max attainable has risen, SNR has decreased and ping has increased. Very odd!

Errmmmm.

That shows significant downstream interleaving - the normal initial depth oh FTTC is 500-800. (The D line).

Interleaving has also introduced its normal first step, Delay = 8ms.

Where does it tell you G.INP is on? The last line, INP (DMP) 3 is totally different.

Edit: See this page, where Impulse Noise Protection appears near the bottom. The stuff above and below it explains interleaving, but ignore the depths/delays etc. figures as they relate to BT Wholesale ADSL2+. Not necessarily FTTC.

Yes that page doesn't say G.INP is on at all!

or if it is... your modem/router isn't compatible with it... or needs a firmware update at the very least!

Even more peculiar then, looks like I misunderstood the G.Inp - but I'm still confused at how severe interleaving was applied without any instability beforehand? Oh well.

It's not very severe. "Significant" in that it is higher than the normal first step.

INP is best explained in that link. G.INP is used to largely remove interleaving and INP, which are together part of error correction routines for corrupted packets, and instead use retransmission of such packets.

Re: G.INP disabled on Huawei Cabinet


[re: deleted] [link to this post]
 
No... ECI cabs don't support G.INP currently and it looks like they never will.

It looks like DLM has decided your line needed some interleaving on the downstream and has added the normal 8ms step onto it..

If your line stays stable then DLM should remove this in time.

Re: G.INP disabled on Huawei Cabinet


[re: Nightglow] [link to this post]
 
I thought I had G.inp disabled here, downstream rate too high, but the counters are populated.

Had a power cut yesterday though DLM appeared to intervene overnight.

Modem does seem pretty confused with life though - note the absurd attainable rate.

Re: G.INP disabled on Huawei Cabinet


[re: deleted] [link to this post]
 
It's unclear whether or not G.INP is being rolled out to ECI cabs yet. The last I "know" of is that upstream G.INP on Huawei has been disabled to sort out two cockups.

1) Openreach/Contractor engineers handing out non-cabinet matching modems;

2) BT Home Hub 5A not handling upstream G.INP.

I'm on Huawei and HG612.

The indispensable man or woman passes from the scene, and what happens next is more or less the same thing as was happening before.
